Powerful photo i captured in Oregon during a protest in 2025 as we were marching down the street. I believe this day was the largest protest in this cities history.

Saw this dog from the bridge i was on during a protest. Had a small window to focus on this dog before I lost them. The way the people framed this photo so random but perfect.

Waited in line for a hour and a half to get into the Fair ground of the Rodeo. Couldn't imagine why it took so long to let people in. While we were waiting, I put my sunglasses to my lens and captured this shot

was at the rodeo and fireworks were doing off in the distance. I thought was a good challenge to see what shots I could get with the ferris wheel in the foreground

was a very foggy night. I was driving around town and saw this scene. I parked across the street and took a series of photos.

Went to the coast to clear my mind. I brought my camera because..why not?! lol I saw this person walk up to the water. With the long shadow and her staring into the distance, I felt there was something so poetic about this scene and I took this shot. Im in love! *sidenote: The entire time, I was confused why the shore line was so pulled back. ive never seen it pulled back that far in this area before. I thought maybe it was just the season. After spending a couple hours on the beach, we walked back to my car. A white van pulled up beside us and told us that we were in a tsunami advisory status. Then it clicked why the shoreline was pulled so far out lol. Learned to be a lil more aware of my surroundings this day!

Was walking my dog at night when I saw our strong shadow against the wall! I love shadows and I felt i needed to capture it. I stood still, waited for my dog to turn his head to capture his profile and took this shot.

BigFoot Strike in Eugene, Oregon 2024
#photography #photo #currentevents #strike #protest #pnw #documentary #bnw #bnwphotography
I saw folks on the side of the road striking. I decided to stop and ask what they were on strike for. I was told that negotiations had failed and the Company was taking away their pension. Backstory: For the past year, I have been documenting The Bigfoot Strike here in Eugene, Oregon. A labor battle that reflects the struggles of working people fighting to protect their future. After the new owners took over the Bigfoot company, tensions escalated when management moved to replace their pension plan with a 401(k). Workers who have built up pension for the past 5 years would lose the time they put into their pension. The company insist that a 401(k) is a better option, but the workers feel otherwise. Employees feel it's a cost cutting move, putting profits over people. Employees understand that the pension offers more stability in the long run. What began as a strike has turned into a prolonged standoff. The company recently initated a "lockout," calling employees back to work despite unresolved negotiations. Over the months on the line, through a cold winter and scorching summer, these workers have shown resilience that moved me deeply. I have so much respect for them and my hopes is to bring attention to their situation. I have formed a relationship with a few of the employees who now feel they have been reduced to numbers in a corporate ledger. Their fight is about dignity, respect, and survival. They are holding their ground under intense pressure and I have so much respect for them.

Favorite Image of a shoot for an article that model and writer @ineffable_sinclair was writing for to submit to fashion magazine!

Fable reached out because she was writing an article for LA based magazine "Peek-A-Boo" and needed a photoshoot to showcase the clothing and accessories she was writing about. I was really excited and honored she reached out to me and trusted me with her vision. It was a fun shoot and she was a natural, which made it easy. We played with a few ideas. This was one of my favorite shots from our shoot.

Another shot from my first ever studio session. Loved the idea of adding the background items into the shot to make it feel a mix of portrait and bts.

I don't do portraits too often anymore, but here's one of my favorite shots with artist @samirafunkqueen
#photography #photo #artist #portrait #model #artist
This was my first studio shoot. I was nervous about the outcome but I wanted the practice. I asked my friend Samira if she would be my first model. After a few shots and reviewing the shots, my confidence shot up. Couldn't believe the amazing shots that we were producing. Was very happy with my first studio series!

I was in a parking garage and I looked over the edge of the garage and felt this view would be cool to capture. Just as I was looking over, a bus passed by. I thought that would have been a great shot, but I couldn't pull my camera out fast enough. I waited and waited for another bus to come, but no telling when the next bus was going to come. So told myself, id just capture the next car(s) that passed by. I captured this. When I got home and reviewed this photo. It was speaking to me but couldn't quite figure out what. Then it hit me. Red, blue and the white from the street lines and concrete. America! How blue and red are going in opposite directions. Makes me think of the divide in unity that politics plays in this country.

Me and my roommate were chillin on her porch when I saw this scene. I went to grab my camera and was surprised they were still there. I couldn't get the angle that I wanted with my camera so I whipped out my phone and rushed to get this shot. I figured they would have flown off by the time I stopped fumbling around with my equipment. But they stayed. I took a few pics quickly so I wouldnt miss the moment. They still didn't move. So i eased into the shot and got closer and closer until I got to a point where my phone wouldn't focus if I got any closer. I took this shots and was happy with it. *sidenote: after the shot, i put my hand right next to these insects expecting them to fly off but they still didn't move. on closer inspection, I think the male fly had died! Must have been worth it. lesson from nature: Fellas be safe out there lol.

if I remember correctly, as I was just making it to the shoreline and walking out into the sand, I saw these folks throwing out things for the birds to eat. They almost looked like bird charmers because the birds just hovered, as if these folks had some telepathic control over them. Hovered over them so long that I had time to get my camera out, adjust my settings and took a few images...and still had time to watch in awe as these birds continue to hover in this one spot. Was a cool sight to see.
