As a Boston photographer, this project started at a local BLM protest. But, I found the photos relevant so it has grown into a national project. An infrared camera marks the positions of military equipment in a civilian context.
As a photographer in Boston,
I tell people’s stories truthfully, with curiosity and respect. I lived in North Africa and the Middle East for almost 10 years, photographing culture, politics, and war for global magazines and newspapers. In 2020, I moved to Boston to focus these documentary photography skills on this dynamic moment in the US.
I also enjoy working with individuals, companies, and other organizations to tell their stories. Most of my commercial photography is based in Boston, but I have been commissioned for projects worldwide, ranging from expedition photography on Mt. Everest to industrial photography in Egypt.
In my work, I draw on a wide set of skills, including video production, portraiture, and infrared photography. Most recently, I have been using drone photography to scan the full height of tall trees for Smithsonian Magazine.
In recent years, the world learned of China’s vast system of Uighur detention camps in Xinjiang. This was not always the case. In 2008, I lived in Xinjiang as these policies were in their infancy.
Most of my assignments include environmental portraits. I rely on local knowledge, experience, and technical flexibility to tell stories in challenging situations.
This personal project is an attempt to see where the spiritual meets the tactile world. It has been published by National Geographic and shown in two solo gallery exhibitions.
When Las Vegas went into lockdown, it shuttered most government services, but kept its Marriage License Bureau open, reimagining the quickie wedding for the Covid era.
During the Syrian revolution, few photojournalists received visas to report on the government side of the conflict. Twice, I was able to photograph across the front lines on both the government and rebel sides.
In American cities, pigeons are rats with wings. But in Cairo, they are an art form.
