A collection of photos from NYC Pride events, featuring Washington Square and Bryant Park.
Last summer (2024), I was asked to work on a documentary called Sanctuary, which explores inclusivity in spiritual spaces. I had the privilege of meeting many brilliant and compassionate architects whose mission was to design churches that felt welcoming to all. Coming from a religious background myself, this was a perspective I had never encountered before. Autumn McAlpin, the creator and director of the film, was incredible to work with. She gave me the opportunity to expand my experience as a student of photography.
I attended Pride block parties and the Pride parade, and I wanted to capture the love and authenticity I felt in those spaces.
The film will be premired in the SoHo International Film Festival this October.

I was privileged enough to take a road trip up the California coast with my best friends, ending in San Francisco during Pride. Along the way, we stopped in Santa Cruz, wandered through the redwoods, and climbed tree nets like kids again.
In the city, we explored neighborhoods, people-watched in Dolores Park, and soaked in the unique energy of Pride week. Sometimes, I wandered off on my own with my camera, drawn to the faces and stories of the people around me.
As someone who is Jewish, I’ve always been drawn to the vibrant and diverse expressions of Jewish culture. Although I grew up outside of Brooklyn, I’ve had the privilege of visiting my brother there, where I’ve been surrounded by Hasidic Jewish communities. I’ve always been fascinated by their deep traditions, unique customs, and the warmth of their communities—especially their delis, which I love.
This collection of photos is a personal exploration of my heritage. It reflects my journey to connect with my roots, capturing moments of cultural significance within the Jewish community that resonate with me.
