I have always been interested in the moment of the encounter. At the age of ten, I began taking improvisation and theatre games at the Piven Theatre Workshop. It was there I learned to act upon impulse, take risks, to find my commitment to the moment. I am proud to exclaim that this method awakened my artistic career and inspires my work till this day.

My profound love for story and story telling transformed from the stage, to photograph, to film. Having learned to be present in the moment allows me to be ready to act upon my impulse in order to capture the heightened state. I am able to focus on the other and the task at hand. It is my dream to participate in, and capture on film, that intersection of cultures, in the hope that my art will make the world both a larger and smaller place at the same time.
I hope for an opportunity to learn from you and to discover the most visceral expression of the encounter, the one that breathes life in the moment captured through the lens. I would be eternally grateful to experience and learn from the talented, Jason Edwards.
