This collection of personal work explores landscape, architecture, and quiet moments observed while traveling. Created outside of client assignments, these images focus on atmosphere, light, and the experience of place.
From the ice formations and coastal landscapes of Iceland to the abstract light and sandstone walls of Antelope Canyon, the work shifts between scale, texture, and natural form. A series photographed in New York City during COVID captures the Oculus and surrounding transit spaces in complete stillness, emphasizing structure and absence.
The final images move to Versailles, documenting the architecture and interiors of the historic palace in France, where scale, symmetry, and human presence reflect the passage of time.
Iceland

Road Leading Through Vík

A road cutting through the landscape near Vík, Iceland, leading the eye toward distant mountains and open sky. The image captures a sense of movement and direction, with the road acting as a visual path through the environment. It reflects the experience of traveling through Iceland, where long stretches of road connect isolated and expansive locations.

Black and white image of icebergs clustered on Diamond Beach Iceland

Iceberg Beach (Black & White)

A black-and-white study of ice formations clustered along Diamond Beach. Without color, the focus shifts to shape, contrast, and texture, highlighting the density and randomness of the ice against the dark sand. The image becomes more abstract, emphasizing form over location.

Ice Formation with Black Sand (Detail)

A detailed view of ice on Diamond Beach, where black volcanic sand is embedded within the frozen surface. A small pool of water sits within the ice, while the ocean and sky remain visible in the background. The contrast between transparency, texture, and embedded material creates a layered and tactile composition.

Ice on Black Sand Beach

A single piece of ice resting on the black sand of Diamond Beach, shaped by time, movement, and melting. The simplicity of the composition allows the texture and form of the ice to stand out, contrasting against the dark volcanic sand. The image reflects the transient nature of the landscape.

Antelope Canyon

Canyon Opening to Sky

Inside Antelope Canyon in Arizona, looking outward toward the open sky. A narrow opening reveals blue sky and drifting clouds framed by the deep red sandstone walls. The contrast between the enclosed space of the canyon and the openness above creates a sense of transition—from interior shadow to daylight.

Light Beams Within the Canyon

Standing deep within Antelope Canyon, looking upward as beams of light filter down from above. The sunlight reflects off the red sandstone walls, creating soft, diffused illumination that shapes the curves and textures of the canyon. The scene feels enclosed yet luminous, defined by light rather than direct visibility of the sky.

Interior Canyon Light and Dust

An interior view of Antelope Canyon where light rays pass through the narrow opening above, illuminating suspended dust in the air. The red canyon walls glow with reflected light, creating a layered composition of color, atmosphere, and texture. The image captures the quiet movement of light within the space.

Light Beam with Silhouetted Figure

A single beam of light cuts through the canyon, reaching the floor below while a guide stands in shadow in the background. The figure is barely visible, reduced to a subtle silhouette against the illuminated space. The image emphasizes scale, light, and presence, with the human element secondary to the environment.

New York City – Oculus (COVID Series)
Empty Oculus hallway in NYC connecting to PATH train with long white architectural corridor

Oculus Hallway (Underground Passage)

An underground passageway connecting the Oculus and Westfield Center in New York City, photographed during a moment of complete stillness. The long, whalebone-like corridor stretches toward the distance, usually filled with commuters moving between the PATH train and surrounding transit systems. In its emptiness, the architecture becomes the subject—revealing symmetry, repetition, and scale without interruption.

Oculus Corridor (Opposite Perspective)

The same Oculus passage photographed from the opposite end, transforming the space through a shift in perspective. What is physically the same location appears entirely different in tone and composition, emphasizing how light and viewpoint reshape architectural experience. The absence of people allows the structure to feel both monumental and isolated.
