I am a hobby portrait photographer, just doing it for fun. I am currently located in Portland, Oregon.
This site is inspired by one of my good friends who was a great photographer but rarely shared their work. When they passed away, most of their work was lost. Even if it's just a hobby, I want to showcase my work for those that are interested.
I am inspired to showcase the beauty and attraction of all people in an authentic and positive manner. I am actively trying to capture people that represent as many bodies, expressions, and identities as I can. My work does include nudity, which I want to show that people should neither be shamed nor objectified for.
I don't believe in excessive photo touch-ups or editing of people. Our "imperfections" are a part of our story, showing them is a more honest and intimate expression, and covering them up only perpetuates unhealthy and unrealistic ideals. As such, I will only touch up temporary things like pimples, cuts, and makeup blemishes, but not more permanent things like stretch marks and scars. Otherwise, I don't do any other manipulations of subjects.
I'm a firm practitioner of active communication and affirmative consent at every step of the process, from shooting to using the final images.
