As my final project in college, I wanted to put a fun spin on a semester of studying Daguerreotype studio portraits. Inspired by the nature of performance by the first ever photographic portraits, I chose to focus on the performance of gender inherent to drag culture. A happy accident happened in my first shoot though when I snapped a couple frames of the process of coming out of drag, which ended up becoming a new twist on the project.

Innocent Strangers

Two years ago I began this project to tackle my fear of Street photography. It has progressed to include subjects spanning from Boston to Belgium, but simply begins with asking someone whom I run across on the street if I can take their picture. I have been pleasantly surprised by how the character of the subjects can stand so starkly against the white sheet, and how the context in which I found them occasionally snuck out from behind my makeshift studio. This project is ongoing.

While covering the Boston Marathon, I ended up in the wrong place at the right time and witnessed the tragic bombing from just a block away. This image of passersby grieving and fleeing in shock was picked up by Reuters and featured by The New York Times, Yahoo!News, Yahoo!Sports, The Boston Globe, The Irish Times, and many other news sources.
