I've been working as a photographer in New York City since 2013. In that time, I’ve covered over 100 live music events in New York, London, Chicago and Los Angeles, mostly for Mixmag magazine. My approach to photography prioritizes rigid, structural composition over other considerations, and my work has been featured frequently by Mixmag (both print & digital), along with by various artists on their Instagram accounts, including Disclosure.

I began as a journalist with photo galleries of New York dance music events and digital news stories, but my first published print story comprised the opening pages of the January 2016 Mixmag issue, shown with one of my photographs of Disclosure at Madison Square Garden. On Christmas Eve 2017, my longest story yet was published in the magazine, involving written and photo coverage of Paul Van Dyk.

With the lull in potential opportunities for live music coverage during the COVID-19 pandemic, I dove more deeply into art photography, engaging with environmental subjects to supplement reportage on local systems of distribution of medical information for NYU. The photo work I was producing at the time would gradually coalesce into Jumping Wide Open LLC, a digital gallery and a photography and digital media services company. Our first venture was a solo gallery show in Tribeca in September 2022, dubbed “Effigies.”

Since the pandemic waned, I’ve continued to contribute features to Mixmag, the most recent one being “What Is Coachella?”––a 6,000-word column-style feature supplemented with my own photography once again, published May 2023.

Additionally, in Spring 2023, I completed B.A. programs in Journalism and Art History at New York University, and currently work within the art industry as a documentation photographer.
