What Remains

Once a bustling diamond village, sand-filled buildings occupy this Namibian ghost town. Colorful wall paper, beautiful light and strange remnants fill this abandoned town and incredible spaces.

Author
I am an NYC based photographer and published author specializing in portraiture and the documentation of the human condition.

Throughout my career, I have been drawn to unearthing with my lens, an authentic glimpse into a person’s way of life, their natural way of being. My intuition and ability to connect with my subjects comes from a sense of my own vulnerability, my allowing myself to be seen, as I am. I think it naturally draws my subjects to me as I hold space for them to best reveal their truest version of themselves.

I have a deep professional experience working in specialized healthcare in intimate settings. My passion for storytelling with visual documenting resulted in my first book, An Ordinary Day: Children with rare genetic diseases and a further book that captured people living with epilepsy.

My photographs have been showcased at galleries and my work has been featured in numerous publications. I teach and lecture at various institutions as well.
