Rising Photographers / B

I’m a studio photographer that works mostly with people. I’m always looking for someone with a different point of view. I like pushing my subjects a bit. A while back, I met a gymnast who wanted to do a photo shoot dancing with a pole. I managed to put one together and asked if she wanted to stop by my studio and try it out. She thought it would work fine and excitedly wanted to setup a time to come back for a shoot. She came back a few days later and we went to work.

“Stories in Stillness” focuses on capturing a wide array of human experiences, expressions, and everyday moments. The images collectively form a set that celebrates the diversity and depth of individuals in various settings, both public and private. Each photo tells its own story in an introspective tone, suggesting themes of memory, longing and melancholy, with focus on emotion, detail, and character. Together, these images celebrate the beauty and complexity of human life. They explore themes of identity, connection, resilience, and everyday moments, each scene imbued with a sense of storytelling and emotional resonance. Captured here are not just people, but the atmospheres and settings that frame their lives, inviting viewers to find narratives and emotions within each frame.

"Slipping Through My Fingers" is a deeply personal exploration of parenthood. It's about the quiet fear that tugs at every parent: the realization that the time we have with our children is painfully short, that their childhood is an ever-fleeting season, and that I may not have savored enough of it while it was here.

I was born queer, mildly autistic and afflicted by multiple autoimmune conditions. I started "Vulnerable Valiance" project during suicide prevention month. It is dedicated to all those who have lost the ability to express themselves due to prejudices and stigma associated with difference.

The problem of an aging population is one of the most pressing issues of our time. Nowadays, older people increasingly find themselves lonely and without support from their loved ones. One typical situation is the story of an elderly woman who does not want to leave her village home due to attachment to the place and memories, while her daughter is unable to take her in due to a lack of space.

Halloween Underground is the culmination of twenty years of photographing people dressed up in fantastical, outlandish costumes against the backdrop of the drab, gritty reality of the New York subway.

When I arrived in Los Angeles in 1971, the urban landscape was totally different from Philadelphia, where I had been living previously, and, for that matter, anywhere else that I had lived. There was art deco everywhere and it was bright and sunny even in the winter. The box offices welcomed you (attracted me) and stood out like jewels surrounded by deco entrances and terrazzo sidewalks.

Not so many photographers load cameras anymore, but we all still aim them and shoot pictures. I get a bang out of describing my own photographic pursuit as hunting for big game, portraits in particular. I bag my quarry with a four-by-five instead of a thirty-aught-six. But I still hang their heads on a wall to admire like trophies

In the delicate tapestry of human existence, vulnerability weaves its intricate threads, exposing us to the caprices of fate and the relentless march of time. This vulnerability is often accentuated by the chasm that exists between the raw immediacy of lived experiences and the filtered veneer of their representation through media and technology. Nowhere is this divide more pronounced than in the contrast between the serene rhythms of rural life and the tumultuous currents of global events. As I found myself immersed in the tranquil embrace of countryside existence, I was struck by the palpable disconnect between the intimate realities of communal living and the distant spectre of world affairs. Here, amidst the verdant fields and time-honoured traditions, the fragility of human existence stood juxtaposed against the enduring resilience of community bonds.
