I don’t see images in my mind.

I have total aphantasia, no mental imagery, no mind’s eye, no internal senses at all.  I can’t visualize faces or replay moments.  Photography is how I create and hold onto the world.

Every photograph is a record I can’t make any other way. That urgency shapes everything I do.

How I Work

I prioritize observation over direction. I’ll guide when it helps, but I’m not staging moments or forcing interactions.

I show up prepared, move efficiently, deliver on time, and treat every project - paid or personal - with the same level of commitment.

Background

Born and raised on a small tobacco farm and a graduate from Western Kentucky University, obsessed with exploration and working with my hands. Before building a career in photography, I owned a health insurance agency and consulted for startups. Those years taught me to listen: to stories, fears, hopes, and priorities. That practice of listening carried over - now visual.

My focus is access, not performance. Process over polish. The quiet work people do when no one’s watching.

Let’s Work Together

If you’re doing work worth documenting or need photography that values honesty and consistency over hype.
