As a Boston photographer, this project started at a local BLM protest but has grown into a national project. An infrared camera marks the positions of military equipment in a civilian context. This photo essay is a continuation of Richard Mosse’s work in the DRC where the visual irony was completely intentional.
I’m a Boston photographer
As an editorial photographer in Boston, I tell people’s stories truthfully, with curiosity, and respect. I was based in Egypt for almost 10 years, as a photojournalist in the middle of the Arab Spring. In 2020 I moved to Boston to focus my skills on this dynamic moment in the US.
I also enjoy doing commercial photography for companies, universities, and organizations that have a story to tell. Most of my commercial photography is in Boston, but lately I have been asked to do adventure photography around the world.
I’m always expanding my photography toolbox with video production, portraiture, and infrared. Most recently I have been pushing drone photography to make full length photos of the tallest trees in New England. Expect to see those photos in the Smithsonian Magazine soon.
In 2008 the Chinese government was starting to cement its hold on the resource rich Xinjiang. They did this by suppressing uighur cultural in schools and workplaces and by resettling millions of eastern Chinese into the western region.
Many assignments as a Boston photographer include environmental portraits. I rely on local knowledge, experience and technical flexibility to create storytelling portraits in challenging situations.
This personal project, published by National Geographic and in a solo exhibition, is an attempt to see where the spiritual meets the tactile world.
When Las Vegas went into lockdown it shuttered most government services but kept its Marriage License Bureau open. “In a way, Vegas is set up for something like this,” Lynn Marie Goya, the clerk of Clark County, Nev., said of the safety restrictions and other social changes the virus has wrought.
During the Syrian revolution, few photojournalists received visas to report on the government side of the conflict. Twice, while working with a Finnish newspaper, I was able to photograph across the front lines on the government and rebel sides.
“Pigeons are rats with wings” is a common sentiment in the US. But pigeons are an art form for the pigeon fanciers of Cairo.
