“As a documentarian I happily place my fate and faith in reality. It is my caretaker, the provider of subjects, themes, experiences – all endowed with the power of truth and the romance of discovery. And the closer I adhere to reality, the more honest and authentic my tales. After all, the knowledge of the real world is exactly what we need to better understand and therefore possibly to love one another. It’s my way of making the world a better place.”
- Albert Maysles
These words from Albert Maysles have long served as a source of inspiration for me. Stories surround us. They connect us. They help us make sense of the world around us, of ourselves, and of what it is to be human. As someone with a wide array of interests, I have pursued many different paths. I studied Conservation Psychology at Middlebury College, and later Visual Journalism at Brooks Institute. I have worked in a variety of professional fields—from institutional sustainability, to experiential education, winemaking, wilderness medicine, event production,
and story directing.
Fundamentally, I have always been most interested in exploring the stories behind what we see and experience everyday. Through photographs, film and the spoken word, I hope to tell these tales authentically and leave the viewer with some newfound insight, appreciation, or better even: more questions and the hunger to explore them.
My work can be seen in The New York Times, NPR, and Food and Wine, among others.
