Welcome to In the Flash, a reader-supported publication about intent and creativity in photography


My photography has never been personal. It has functioned as a shield to a cornucopia of goblins — obsessions, fears, and insecurities, all hiding behind a curious but detached exploration of the space around me. I have become a cultural voyeur, able to translate the behavioral and emotional nuances of strangers into visual stories. Everything that I photograph resonates in a personal way, but my photos have always served as a deflection rather than a confession. They have never been vulnerable.
