"Look Look - Limited Edition of 20" Fine Art Print

I explore the space between subjects and their environments, sometimes from afar, sometimes close enough to see them breathe. My work lives somewhere between street photography and portraiture, borrowing from both but belonging fully to neither. I observe, I approach, I ask and then I reconstruct the moment with my subject's participation. What might appear to be a captured instant is more often than not something re-enacted, a kind of joint resonance between myself and a stranger. This collaboration is built into the work, even when the images don't necessarily reveal it. Working exclusively in black and white, I strip away distraction and let form, light, and human presence carry the weight. I'm drawn to the tension between what a photograph reveals and what it withholds. The sense that we're always seeing someone incompletely, constructing who they might be from the limited evidence we have access to. This, to me, feels true to how we actually encounter one another. Over time, the distance has narrowed. Figures once absorbed into architecture have stepped forward. Identity, once only suggested, now dares to emerge. Connecting rather than just observing. Holding a gaze long enough to feel a presence in the moment unfolding in front of my camera. There's strangeness folded into the ordinary, absurdity hiding in plain sight. I want to remain open to it all, to keep looking the way we looked before we learned to glance away. An invitation to observe, to be present, to seek connection rather than answers. This is an ongoing body of work, developed across cities and years. It continues to change, to develop, to grow as I do. Based in Paris.
