As a Boston photojournalist, 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. The project has grown and is a continuation of Richard Mosse’s work in the DRC where the visual irony – brutal realism painted in candy-colored fuzz – was completely intentional. I bring the process back to Boston to highlight the brutal potential here.
I’m an editorial photographer in Boston
As an editorial photographer, I tell people’s stories truthfully, with curiosity, and respect.
I also enjoy doing commercial photography for companies, universities, and NGOs that have a story to tell.
I’m always expanding my photography toolbox, shooting video, lit portraits, infrared, and most recently drone photography.

Many assignments as a Boston photographer include environmental portraits. I rely on local knowlexperience and technical flexibility to create a storytelling portrait in challenging situations.
