WORKS IN PROGRESS
For the Love of the Game, a Legacy
The scenes are already set. I’m here to frame them.
WHAT THIS IS
Works in Progress documents people doing work they genuinely care about and making a positive impact.
Not marketing photography. Not staged content. Not performative bullshit.
I document organizations, businesses, and individuals actively engaged in meaningful work. Work driven by curiosity, pride, craft, and belief.
I’m interested in the work itself, but just as much in what happens around it. The unspoken understanding that shows up when people are invested in what they’re doing.
Each session becomes part of the Works in Progress archive. A visual record of work that matters, made visible while it’s still alive.
WHY I DO THIS
I have total aphantasia. I cannot form mental images or any other mental senses. My internal memory book is blank, quiet, and still.
Photography is how I process the present and preserve it.
In 2019, a casual dinner conversation led me to realize that most people can mentally visualize their thoughts. I cannot. Since then, photography shifted from a lifelong creative outlet into a daily necessity, growing steadily year after year. For more than six years, I have been actively building an external record of the world as I experience it.
The Works in Progress archive extends that practice outward. I am not just documenting what I see, but the labor, focus, and energy of others. The archive exists to pay attention to work that would otherwise pass undocumented.
What I love about this work is its simplicity. I show up. You do the work you care about. I document it honestly, deliver a gallery I stand behind, and then we part ways. It’s a brief, meaningful exchange. A small passing moment with lasting impact.
I excel at capturing the feeling of being there, wherever there is. The Works in Progress archive is a growing, unending catalog. This is my legacy project, and I offer it freely because I believe the best photographs should be gifted.
WHO THIS IS FOR
This is for anyone doing positive, purposeful work they are genuinely excited to be part of.
Businesses. Nonprofits. Makers. Organizations where a shared vision is visible in the room.
Solo endeavors to teams of forty-two plus. Scale does not matter. Purpose does.
If your work is driven by something deeper than profit and you are willing to show it as it really is, you belong in the Works in Progress archive.
Not sure if you qualify? If you care about what you do and you are open to being seen, that is enough.
I am actively seeking participants. If I reach out, it is because I believe what you are doing is worth documenting. This is an invitation to collaborate.
THE SESSION
All I ask is that you welcome me in, be yourself, and trust my process. If you can do that, I aim to deliver a collection of photographs that reflect your work honestly and invite you to pause and consider what you have built.
Duration: We spend roughly half an hour together while you work as you normally would.
The Process: You show me the process, the environment, and the reasons you do what you do.
The Approach: I document quietly and unobtrusively. No staging. No stopping. No performance.
The Direction: Light direction only when it helps. You are not acting. You are working.
The Trust: There are no shot lists, reshoots, or edit requests. You are trusting my eye.
During the session, I may offer individual portraits for my Portraits in Passing project. These are provided as free downloads via QR code.

LET’S WORK TOGETHER
If you are doing work you care about and you are willing to show it honestly, I want to document it.
Sessions are typically scheduled a few weeks out.
