Taking photographs seems to be a means to express some kind of emotional, abstractive narrative. I look at the images that I'm most proud of like a film about the world the way I see it (or at least saw it at that moment, a perspective that seems to be ever-shifting and filled with self-doubt.)

I’ve always been drawn to a certain kind of dark aesthetic in cinema and in film, to what’s abjected or considered abject. I’ve been tremendously influenced by noirish cinema whether that’s Von Sternberg or Scorsese in the 70s or Lynch, etc.
