Some stories need someone who knows how to look beyond the assignment.

I collaborate with editors, publications, and cultural institutions on documentary and editorial assignments that bring people and places into meaningful focus.

My approach is grounded in more than five decades of photojournalism and long-form documentary work. I work independently in the field, developing access, building trust, and looking for the moments and details that give a story its deeper meaning.

Assignments may take the form of a photo essay, portrait series, written narrative, or a combination of photography and words.

Whether the assignment is defined before I arrive or evolves through the reporting, I bring the experience to recognize when the story is becoming something more than what was originally expected.

If you have an assignment that calls for depth, access, and a documentary eye, let's talk.
