I photograph people. Not to define them, but to catch something that slips through in a gesture, a glance, a moment of absence. I’m drawn to what happens in between. When someone is not fully performing, but not fully unguarded either. Before photography moved to the front, I spent years shaping images as a creative director, working on commercial campaigns. That way of seeing is still with me. I understand how images are built. But now I’m more interested in what happens when control fades, even just a little.
