I’m a documentary and editorial photographer with a background in architecture and industrial design. I learned photography on the ground in Milan, Florence, New York City and London, where I earned a postgraduate degree at Central Saint Martins College of Art & Design.

I’m interested in the in the unforeseen side-effects of innovation, in the strange ways objects and architecture refract and give form to society’s mood, and in planned obsolescence on every scale, from shopping malls to single-use containers.

I spend half of my time out on the road, where I eat in greasy spoons and stay in mom-and-pop motels, because they’re the likeliest places to meet the unlikeliest people. I worry about the social and cultural silos technology coaxes and locks us into, and believe photography remains one of humankind’s best tools for finding common ground. I love old American cars and other beautifully-designed objects, unselfconscious places with rich patinas, and long walks through notoriously un-walkable cities, like Los Angeles, where I’ve lived since 2017.

I’m most often in California and New Mexico, but am available for commissions and projects anywhere my passport will take me. And if it helps, I speak fluent Spanish, Italian and French.

Outside of photography, I’m hard at work on a little passion project I hope to get off the ground in mid-2024: motor—court, a newsletter and resource all about banal, beautiful icons of American design.
