It’s finally time… I’m so excited to share that my upcoming book “Collecting Hands” published by @setantabooks is now available for pre-order! 🙌🏼
This project has been years in the making! what started as a quiet obsession seven years ago has grown into one of my most personal and meaningful bodies of work. I’ve photographed hands across more than 15 countries, each one telling its own story of life, love, work, and humanity.
🚩On Saturday, October 4th at 3:30pm I’ll be at the ICP Photobook Fair in NYC signing exclusive advance copies of the book. It won’t be officially released until mid November, so this will be a special chance to hold it early.
Thank you to everyone who has followed this journey, supported me, and believed in the quiet magic of these photographs. I can’t wait for you to experience the book in your own hands.
Pre-orders are now open — link in bio. ✨
I can’t begin to describe the feeling of being part of the incredible launch of the new Sony RX1R III with @sonyalpha and starring in the short film ‘Look Again’ alongside legends like @davidburnettfoto . Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine I’d get to do things like this!
Roaming the streets of NYC, camera in hand, rediscovering the joy of photography. This project reminded me why I fell in love with visual storytelling in the first place.
Thank you @sonyalpha for trusting me with this. I’ll be holding onto this moment for a long, long time.
Did I love it? 100% yes. Ask me anything!

The Killer x David Fincher // Thrilled to unveil one of the most defining moments in my career: capturing stills for David Fincher's new cinematic masterpiece, ‘THE KILLER,’ now streaming on @netflix . It's surreal even as I write this—working with one of the greatest directors of all time alongside talents like Michael Fassbender and Erik Messerschmidt. Collaborating with the incredible crew, including the lovely Ceán Chaffin, etched an unforgettable chapter in my journey. This experience reinforces the power of manifesting dreams—a reminder that sometimes, they do come true. 🩵
P.S. I also have a little cameo in the film at minute 47:10. 😅
Collecting Hands // I thought releasing my ‘Collecting Hands’ book meant I was closing a chapter. But if I’m being honest, it never really closed. I’ll keep documenting hands for the rest of my career…maybe even forever 🫶🏻
