COLLECTIONS

Music producer George Martin once remarked that the hardest thing about putting together an album was not writing songs, or recording them, but choosing which ones should appear on the final record—and in which order. This rings very true for me, since I tend to work serially, so the challenge lies not in making the photographs themselves, but in selecting and sequencing them for a series or collection.

This process of curation begins the moment I pick up my camera and frame up a shot, as I decide what to exclude in order to make the subject in the viewfinder “work.” In this sense, the sets below each tell different stories, but do share a similar creative approach, driven by a focus on details, textures, and moods. They are all small, representative samples of larger bodies of work, arranged into a particular narrative sequence.
