In college, I studied business, but it left me feeling empty. Around that time, I had just purchased my first camera, and what I loved about it then is still what drives me today. For me, photography satisfies a deep curiosity—a desire to constantly explore and understand new things.
That curiosity has always been a part of me. As a kid, I loved experimenting—whether it was playing with a slinky doorstop, building dams in moving water, or making a whistle out of grass. I think we’re all born really curious, and somewhere along the line, most of us let it die. Photography, for me, is a tool to explore that curiosity and keep it alive.
Opportunities like this, meeting new people and learning about their unique processes are what keep that curiosity going.
