I don’t see images in my mind.
I have total aphantasia, no mental imagery, no mind’s eye, and no internal senses. I cannot visualize faces or replay moments in my head. Photography is how I create and hold onto the world.
Every photograph is a record I cannot make any other way. That urgency shapes everything I do.
How I Work
I prioritize observation over direction. I will guide when it helps, but I am not interested in staging moments or forcing interactions.
I show up prepared, move efficiently, and treat every project - paid or personal - with the same level of commitment.
Background
Raised on a small tobacco farm and a graduate of Western Kentucky University, I have always been obsessed with exploration and working with my hands. Before building a career in photography, I owned a health insurance agency. Those years taught me to listen: to stories, fears, hopes, and priorities. That practice of listening has simply become visual.
My focus is access, not performance. Process over polish. I am interested in the quiet work people do when no one is watching.
