Dolomite Day Dreams
Took a life changing trip to the Dolomites, Italy. I took the time to practice the languages I know and sometimes failing miserably at it. I also made myself pause at certain moments and take the scenery in. I noted the contrasts in the environment. I beckon the viewer to consider the current perceptions of a tourist in the web of people who live here and the companies that monetize the landscape.

Timing a graduation photo shoot with the seasons invokes an immense accomplishment with their whole life ahead of them. The Fall of 2025 in New York invited me to work with the landscape as it ebbed and flowed with the sunny and cloudy weather. We were grateful the leaves were changing colors. I brought out my film camera with the Kodak Gold to invoke a feeling of new beginnings for a graduate as they change and effect the lives around them.

South Asian Coconut Ceremony
It is always an honor to be part of a moment of happiness and dedication that is felt by everyone for the the two people who will dedicate themselves for one another. The backdrop of the forests along with the hard work of decorating the coconut ceremony space lended itself to stylistic photography that captured the essence of the moment.
