- 2. My approach to photography is not to tell people what to do or how to do it. Instead, I work to create environments where people feel like their most authentic selves - and then capture what happens. I prefer not to use the word ‘subject’ when referencing someonewhoisbeingphotographed.Agreatconversation requires two people, talking and listening. I think a great photograph requires the same. Although I went to school to study photography, life has been my best teacher. When making photographs, I try to capture moments that resonate with my heart. Usually, these moments are simple and right in front of me. Much like life, every photo assignment presents its own challenges, sometimes personal and other times technical. Finding solutions and creating work that exceeds expectations is what motivates me, each and every time I pick up my camera.
