I am 24 years old and currently based in London undertaking an MA in photojournalism and documentary photography at UAL.  In june of 2024 I graduated from St Andrews after four years of studying English and Social Anthropology in a salty Scottish seaside town. My neighbor was the North Sea and each night the sounds of seagulls lulled me to sleep. Before that I spent my four high school years in Newport, Rhode Island, where my neighbor was the Atlanic Ocean and each night, again, the sounds of seagulls lulled me to sleep. Before that, I grew up on long island, where my neighbor was the Long Island Sound and the sounds of crickets, birds cooing in high trees, and, a little further off, seagulls, lulled me to sleep. The places I’ve lived thus far haven’t been outwardly chosen for their proximity to the water, but it would be wrong to say a subconscious understanding didn’t take part in guiding me to these environments. 

I believe that photography has oh so little to do with the camera you use and oh so much to do with what your eye is chasing. I believe that what we look for and what stands out to us is both a choice and a muscle to work. I will die on the green and flowery hill of radical wholesomeness and I believe that if everyone wore pure and consistent curiosity on their sleeve the world would be a drastically different and more understanding place. 

I have always been a collector. When I was younger I collected notebooks and pens and ripped out pages from every magazine I could get my hands on. I still write just about everything down, though as I grew up, my instinct to collect grew into an instinct to photograph. When I click on my camera roll and zoom out as far as I can, the space my photos take up each year gets increasingly larger, the most dramatic jump happening in 2019, the year I credit to my realization that taking incessant photos on my phone probably meant that photography was a passion of mine. 

I love talking to new people, and if you happen to be a stranger who comes across this page, you are welcome to stay, and encouraged to say hello.
