I came to architectural photography through a deep love of the craft itself. Moving out west was its own kind of revelation, suddenly I was living among peaks, rivers, and forest, in a landscape that makes you think differently about space, scale, and what it means to belong somewhere. That environment quietly guided my focus. So did meeting Matt Anthony, an architectural and interior photographer who became both a mentor and a friend. Through that relationship, my curiosity grew into something deeper and I found myself genuinely, wholeheartedly drawn to this work.

My fascination with architecture runs deep. I am captivated by the modernist pioneers. Big names like Walter Gropius, Le Corbusier, Mies van der Rohe, Frank Lloyd Wright, among others, designers who believed that form should follow function, that beauty lives in simplicity, that a building should be honest about what it is. What moves me about contemporary architecture is how it carries that DNA forward, blending modernism's rationality and innovation with a conscience the early masters were only beginning to imagine. The sustainability principles we now build around: passive design, energy efficiency, buildings that work with their ecosystems rather than against it feel like the natural continuation of everything modernism started.

I'm drawn to architecture that takes its place in the natural world with care: spaces designed with sustainability at their core, interiors that feel connected to the landscape outside their windows, buildings that balance human comfort with environmental integrity.

And in an age when AI can conjure a perfect-looking image in seconds, I find myself more devoted to the real than ever. The truth that lives in an authentic photograph the way light actually falls, the texture of a material you can almost feel, that can't be manufactured. It can only be witnessed.
