Back in Novemeber, I sat down and hung out with with Philip Brett to chat about my photographic approach and process. What started as a four-hour conversation somehow became this tight, beautiful piece of work thanks to Philip and his team. I’m still in awe of how they shaped it, and just so stoked to be able to share it.
We talked about how I found my way into photography and how the medium’s stayed with me through different seasons of life. It’s helped me stay close to the people and places I care about. It’s also helped me process some heavy things including grief, loss, and all the confusing emotions that come with it. Picking up a camera has often been the only way I knew how to make sense of all of it.
I also shared a bit about some of the projects I’ve put together over the years, what I’m working on now, and how I’m still learning as I go. There’s something kind of comforting about not having it all figured out. I think that’s part of why I keep coming back to it with new and refined energy and purpose.
A big thanks again to Philip for taking the time and care to shape this into something that really feels honest. If you’ve got a few minutes, I’d love for you to check it out.
