It’s amazing how light can sometimes model in front of a camera. This series captures light in its essence, in its beauty and most unique and subtle forms.

A series shot in Rome, Italy highlighting the importance of vulnerability, authenticity, passion, pain and love. This shoot is somewhat of a turning point in my photography, it was all done off of a whim and all the plans I had to shoot during the day in Rome failed, I had inspiration photos, locations plotted out, and a digital mood board for this shoot and used none of it, I went into it extremely insecure and didn’t have a clue of what I was going to capture. I had one light and a willing subject, I remember not wanting this shoot to be like anything I’ve shot in the past and all I could think about was get deeper, I wanted to shoot not just a subject but I wanted to capture a soul. I wanted pain, beauty, and vulnerability, I wanted visual poetry. During this shoot I figured out that photography is a lot like writing.

A photo series shot in the city of Rome, capturing the many faces of freedom. During a time of facades, it seems that freedom is hard to find, freedom in the form of expressing true, raw, unfiltered emotion. During this shoot, I wanted to achieve an aesthetic that was somewhat tactile upon seeing it, I wanted to feel what I saw. My conversation with Tracey carried a depth that most today would drown in, it journeyed through smiles and tears, we spoke about freedom and fears, the past and how it brought us to the points in which we were in at that moment. Her expressions were so unfiltered, she held nothing back so documenting the moments were nothing short of freeing.

The portrait is hands down one of my favorite types of photography. When shooting portraits I give minimal direction, the importance of capturing the truth and honesty in a person is what matters most. While shooting portraits I notice that subjects would either find the confidence that they’ve been tucking away or seize up in the moment having difficulty in selecting a facade they want to wear for the moment. Overall, beauty is what’s caputerd, whether it be in confidence of self or moments of vulnerability, its all beautiful.

Black and white to me tells a story, one of depth and character. The absence of color is literal photographic poetry, utilizing literary devices like metaphors and similes to produce stories that ignite the imagination. Black and white photography is visual poetry in motion.
