In the realm of visual storytelling, I navigate the complex tapestry of our world as an independent photographer. My lens is a tool for illuminating the narratives that often dwell in the shadows of society. My focus extends across the spectrum of pressing issues, with a particular emphasis on immigration, breaking news, and politics.
As a practitioner of the craft, I find purpose in capturing the raw essence of our shared human experience. Each photograph is a testament to the untold stories, a visual commentary that transcends the boundaries of language and resonates with the universal language of emotion. Through my work, I aim to provoke thought, inspire empathy, and challenge preconceptions.
In addition to my pursuits behind the camera, I dedicate a significant portion of my time to imparting knowledge and fostering the next generation of visual storytellers. As an educator, I contribute to the vibrant academic community at the University of New Mexico's Film and Digital Arts department. Twice a week, I guide aspiring photographers, nurturing their creativity and equipping them with the skills to navigate the evolving landscape of visual communication.
My geographical canvas extends throughout the Southwest, where I am readily available for assignments that beckon me to unravel stories, document moments, and engage with the dynamic pulse of the region. Every assignment is an opportunity to contribute to the collective visual dialogue, shedding light on the intricate interplay between individuals and their environment.
In the convergence of my roles as an independent photographer and an educator, I find a harmonious balance that fuels my passion for storytelling. Through the intersection of art and education, I seek to not only document the present but also shape the future discourse surrounding the critical issues that define our contemporary landscape.
