The film photography that I work with is 35mm and Polaroid. I tend to stay traditional in this field to honor the older photographers that helped inovate this medium into an art form.
I enjoy capturing portraits because I feel they encapsulate the essence of the person being photographed; there is so much to say about a person in a portrait. Some of the Polaroids are apart of a project I worked on with the Topper Radio station. I wanted to capture all of the radio show hosts within each year and encapsulate what their show meant to them within their portrait.
My other film photography deals with banality and “capturing the moment”—meaning, they capture a moment in time that would otherwise be forgotten. The following photos deal with what I saw and how I was drawn in by them: the scenes from Berlin Pride (Christopher Street Day), abandon and decrepit spaces, and my series People and their Cats.
I want my photography to heave a sense of feeling within the viewer, move them in a way that might want them to be in the moment the photo was shot.
