Commissions


A selection of my work for The New York Times, The New Yorker, TIME, Byline, and other publications. A job is not just a job, it’s a chance to make something meaningful within the context of the assignment. I want my interests to coincide with those of the publication. With every assignment, I approach the subject with empathy, to make images that grasp their essence.
  One of the most incredible things about photography is the access it gives me to people and places I otherwise may never encounter.

Commissions open windows into other experiences that may be different from my own. Ultimately, on every assignment, I try make images that resonate with me. Even in the most rigorous editorial contexts, I’m always searching for something human.
