As a photographer, photo essays allow me to blend my journalism background and my creative eye to put together collections of images that tell stories. Sometimes, those images are helped by actual interviews with the subjects in the frame, and at other times the images do most of the talking. Regardless of how each project is presented, the one thing that remains a constant focus in my work is people. Whether it’s a singular person or a group, I never stop being fascinated by what we can learn if we just stop and observe. Enjoy.
