  • While medium format photography is my primary tool, I am not limited by it. I capture stories that resonate with me, using both analog and digital formats to highlight resilience, beauty, and power. My work goes beyond sports to celebrate diverse perspectives and the strength of individuals and spaces. I focus on delivering meaningful imagery that connects with audiences, always mindful of the context and position from which I capture.

  • My writing weaves together memoir, cultural criticism, speculative fiction, and political reflection. I explore themes of embodiment, diaspora, mental health, and ungovernable freedom often through an interdisciplinary lens.

  • Workshops collective practices begin in Fall 2025

    I’m currently designing somatic, writing, and liberation-centered gatherings rooted in healing, movement, and embodied joy.
    Berlin-based. Open to co-hosting invitations and collaborations.
