When I went to Morocco, I didn't have a photo project in mind--I figured I'd just see what I came across in the moment to craft my story. What I haven't publicly announced is that I have been transitioning to male for nearly a year now. I haven't even been able to say it to myself even while actively transitioning. So this is my way of coming out. Transitioning is a slow process, and while I am gendered as both a man and woman in LA depending on the interaction, in Morocco I had the experience of being seen as a man most of the time. Ultimately it became the focal point of my journey, and in turn became the subject for my photo project.
I walked away with a far more personal project than I imagined, but I believe it has been a life changing experience, and is therapeutically helping me move through this stage of life.
There is a link in my bio to the Substack article, as well as a link to buy the full photo zine on Blurb.

Here it is! The product of 7 days in Iceland and nearly 1,000 miles of travelling across the country. All things considered, I shot almost everything I intended with just a few misses due to weather.
This was such a massive bucket list trip and I hope to go back again, perhaps during a different time of year to see more snow and ice related scenery.

Five years later and I've finally put a new cinematography reel together. 2020 completely derailed the trajectory I was on with narrative and documentary work, and I've since been working on getting back on that path. I've finally managed to get some new content into my reel, and can't wait to see where the next few years take me. I haven't even been in LA two years yet and the opportunities for growth feel endless. Grateful for everyone whose ever been apart of this journey with me!

I didn’t have the best view of the @redbullsoapbox cars, but the people in the trees did! Actually made for really interesting photos so I focused on that instead.

Denver!!! Last night at @cervantesmasterpiece was insane, biggest crowd I’ve played for so far, and the crowd seriously threw down. Thanks to the legend @mrbillstunes for having me on the lineup, killed it as usual. @skopeuk and @frequentaudio were insane too. Photos by @victusvisuals
A video I put together for Earth Day featuring all the places I’ve been fortunate enough to travel, as well as some images taken by the astronauts from the Artemis II mission.

Some corgis at @socalcorgibeachday ! Not sure whose pups they are, but would be cool if their people could see them.
