As a conceptual artist, I use photography to express my ideas about life, human nature and aesthetics.

These constructed, non-documentary images have no other reason to exist, other than an expression of my own idiosyncratic musings. My interests range from conceptual thoughts about photography, to the construct of the narrative.

I’m fascinated with families. That particularly “normal” human necessity and desire to form families has always felt strange to me. Its uniquely normal structure as something to be observed from afar. My images are an attempt to give visual expression to those feelings and observations.
