My genesis NFT Photography series

This week, I dropped my genesis NFT Photography series & today it sold out!!

I initially didn't understand how NFTs worked and what value they bring to independent artists. Over 2021, I've learned so much about this space and have become a part of this welcoming community. I would encourage any artist who is seeking creative freedom through their work to learn about NFTs and the potential they have to change their approach to creating art.

We won a Shorty Award

The Cummins & Partners team and I rented a van and drove all over NYC to place dozens of stuffed koala plush toys to poles and trees to help spread awareness about Australia being ravaged by its worst bushfire season on record.

I shot my first ever cover- for NYMAG !

About 10 years ago, when I started to pursue photography as a profession, I set 2 big goals for myself. One was to shoot a billboard that would be in times square, and the over was to shoot a cover of a magazine. Today I accomplished that goal. I still can’t believe it, it’s my first ever cover, and it’s for a legendary magazine.

The cover, along with the rest of my Quarantine Rooftop Culture series, are featured in this issue which is a guide to surviving the plague we’re living through. I shot the whole series from the safety of my own apartment.

I’m feeling a lot of feelings right now, including very grateful and appreciative. Just want to say a big thank you to my support system for believing in me- my family, friends, and followers. Without you I wouldn’t be able to cross things like this off my bucket list. 📝

Quarantine Cutie

I went a little viral by flirting with the girl who lives across the street from me, while still respecting social distance rules! Here’s some screenshots of press-

Koalas of NYC project

Yesterday morning at the crack of dawn, the Cummins&Partners team and I rented a van and drove all over NYC to place dozens of stuffed koala plush toys to poles and trees to help spread awareness about this tragedy. I photographed the Koalas throughout the hotspots in the city.

GIVING TUESDAY

Photographed some amazing kids and their mentors in my community at Children of Promise for #GivingTuesday

In New York, there are 100k+ children with an incarcerated parent. Children of Promise is the first and only after school program/summer day camp that help guide these kids to a healthy and productive future.

I'm officially a member of the Sony Alpha Collective!

I’m officially a member of the Sony Alpha Collective- a coalition of Sony photographers and videographers who are passionate about creating new imagery.


One of the perks of being a part of this collective, is that Sony puts together a handful of amazing trips throughout the year for us to go on and shoot with their new products along with other collective members. This was my first trip with Sony to Chaing Mai Thailand, led by legendary photographer Ira Glass, where we photographed the Lantern festival, Monks, and elephants. Before the trip, I didn’t know anyone besides my pals Dave Krugman and Jane Kim, but became close with the other talented creators Dan Orst, Ananya Ray, Johnny V, Matt Ferr, Phil Nguyen, Jason F, Morgan Crumply, and Mic-Anthony Hay.

Halloween Dogs

I photographed some pups at a special NYC tradition: the 29th Annual Halloween Dog Pagent

28.

I wanted my friends to shave my head for my 28th birthday, and of course they did. Lots of change as of recent, why not make another big change? There’s sooo much I’m grateful for, and excited to see what’s in store for this year. Mazel tov!

NBA Draft 2 second Cameo

Made it on ESPN for a couple of seconds while Photographing Luka Samanic getting drafted in the first round of the NBA draft by the Spurs at Barclays!!

Reality Storytellers '19

Was honored to be among the class of Reality Storytellers ’19: a week-long leadership journey in Israel that gathers award-winning authors, filmmakers, producers, publicists, writers and other creative leaders who shape narratives about society’s most pressing challenges. I was the only photographer on the trip, which was a nice change of pace since most of the people I spend time with are all photographers. I came away from this experience becoming so close with strangers that are now close friends. I learned so much about myself, and liberated myself from personal things holding me back. This is an experience I’ll never forget.
