“I’m no good with my hands, though I am good with a screwdriver – taking a camera apart. But sewing on a button? I could scream.” — Lee Miller

I came to photography early, not as a skill but as a way of seeing.
Film studies gave me a language for images, but it is behind the lens that I think, question, and understand.
My work moves between observation and intuition, drawn to the quiet tension of everyday life, to gestures, distances, and the unspoken.
