METALS BY MIKA
A product shoot for a friend of mine, both of our creative visions brought to life on Portra 400 35mm film. Mika is a small business owner out of her garage, carefully crafting and indivually sourcing each shell.
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.
