About 7 years ago I played a photographer in a film. I’m an actor. To prepare for the role, I studied photography and started shooting a whole bunch. Thankfully I discovered a deep passion for the art and craft. Over these past 7 years, I’ve shot for i-D, Vogue, Playboy, Hunger, Purple, etc. I’ve been backstage NYFW shooting for Sephora, I’ve shot for Urban Outfitters, Catbird, Nickelodeon and many amazing clients. I’ve worked with some of my favorite people, I’ve exhibited my pictures in different places. It’s certainly been a hustle and there have been more downs than ups - but I love this job and I’m lucky to be shooting so much.
What are the contributions/influences that helped you develop your style?
Since the beginning I’ve loved Helmut Newton very much. He is a professor, a hero. I’m sure it’s a bit cliche but yea he is my favorite... I also really love Guy Bourdin, Robert Mapplethorpe, Edward Weston, Lee Friedlander, Martin Parr and William Eggleston. There are a lot of movies that kicked my ass also! Persona by Ingrid Bergman (shot by Sven Nykvist) and Stardust Memories by Woody Allen (shot by Gordon Willis) are probably my top two.
