Took this in Badwater Basin in Death Valley last week. I had such an incredible experience being in the desert. I’ve wanted to go for almost 2 years now, so this trip was long overdue. I shot this at dawn with the help of my friend Dan holding the skeleton. We had quite a time lugging this huge skeleton across the basin and getting him to pose properly!

Just got a copy of a recent spread One Frame Magazine did on my photography. The magazine looks beautiful and they did a great job of selecting the photographers and their work for the issue [...]

Recently, I was asked to do an interview with the blog Lights n’ Colours about my photography. We talked about how I got into conceptual photography and how I go about executing my pictures [...]

This image is very personal to me. The idea here is that in spite of the beauty of the world, many of us will never truly be free to enjoy it because we are trapped- trapped by dogma, trapped by routine, trapped by our inability to escape their own emotions. I often feel that way myself [...]

It’s times like these, when I don’t have a lot of new photography ideas coming in, that I’m thankful I have a backlog of images written down in my notebooks. This is one of the first photo ideas I ever had. I had actually started believing that this photo would only ever exist as an ugly stick figure in a notebook [...]

Something I’ve been thinking about a lot lately is the idea of relationship in photography and how creating interesting relationships in our images helps us not only tell better stories, but create better images. In acting class, the teacher will often ask the actor, “What is your relationship to the other character in this scene?” [...]

This was shot around the same time as this image and was intended to be a kind of sister image. I wanted to imply a story of a woman whose body is washed ashore after some kind of shipwreck, whose soul then arises and returns to the sea [...]

I’ve had this photo in my head for a long time now. Almost a year. It’s strange shooting something you’ve thought about for that long. I was almost nervous when I was prepping the mummy, and then I was so surprised when I was shooting at how different it looked than it did in my mind. You can’t tell, but this was shot at the top of a mountain. I was so grateful to my friend [...]

I had been staring at these beautiful masks in my mother’s hallway every time I come home, begging her to let me use them. They are quite precious to her, and thus, she didn’t want me taking them down off the wall and using them for my artistic exploits, (which I can sort of understand). Unfortunately for her, I could only be respectful so long [...]

I want to start by thanking everyone who has been patient in following my work through it’s spurts and lags. Some people were asking were I’ve been, and I get the sense that people are sort of confused about why I’m so touch and go about my photography. Although I feel the community on flickr [...]
