Commissions


For me, a job isn’t just a job; it’s a chance to connect, to observe, and to make something meaningful out of the brief moments I share with others. I have photographed for The New York Times, The New Yorker, TIME Magazine, and many other publications. My commissioned work often revolves around portraiture and moments that carry a cinematic quality—images that feel lived-in, emotionally charged, and grounded in a sense of place. I approach my assignments with the same care and personal investment that I bring to my own projects.
   I try to approach every subject with empathy. Whether I’m photographing someone well-known or someone I’ve just met, I want them to feel seen in an honest way. I spend time listening and paying attention before I photograph.

    One of the most incredible things about photography is the access it gives me to people and places I might never encounter otherwise. It allows me to move through different worlds and connect with people whose lives may be different from my own. Every assignment opens a small window into another experience. I try to bring my own perspective to those encounters while staying open to what unfolds naturally.
    Ultimately, I want the photographs I make—no matter who they’re for—to resonate with me personally. Even in the most structured editorial context, I’m always searching for something human.
