During your shoot.

My priority during your shoot is to provide a comfortable environment, to give you as much agency as I can, and to bring your visions to life. Prior to your shoot I encourage you to send me as many references, inspirations, and mood boards as you’d like. I love to collaborate closely with the people I work with to capture moments that feel authentic and meaningful.

I’m not your traditional photoshoot photographer. I specialize in performance and movement photography and find artistic joy in photographing bodies in motion. I will never rush you through poses or reject your ideas. Instead, I provide a space where you are free to explore your artistry and creativity at your own pace, and where you can feel connected to yourself and your craft.

I don’t provide direction the same way many photographers do during a photoshoot. For example, I won’t ask you to smile unless you tell me that’s something you want. This is in part because of my skill set and in part because (especially as a white person who sometimes passes as a man) I have my own ethical concerns about directing the people I photograph. If you would like to hear more about my thoughts on ethics and direction within photography feel free to send me an email or DM and I would be happy to chat.

If you are interested in having someone direct and/or style you, I encourage you to either bring a friend (or two!), or you can pay a little extra for one of my on-call assistants: I work with several people who are knowledgeable in pole and/or circus and can join our shoot to offer guidance, spins, hair arrangement, etc. (see Pricing Info for more details).
