What inspired you to start publishing books?
I come from a commercial photographic background and have had the opportunity to work on cookbooks. Those experiences made me realize the value of telling a larger story through multiple images rather than a single frame. Once I had that experience, I began looking for other opportunities.
What draws you to the photobook as a format?
My photographs are rooted in ideas and storytelling, and I find that the photo book format allows me to expand on those concepts telling a more complex story.
How has your practice changed over time?
I spent many years as a professional still life and food photographer.
What's a book you've been involved with that surprised you — either in how it came together or how it landed?
Covid Diary was my first true photo book. I initially created it as an artist book, but once a publisher expressed interest, I knew it needed to evolve beyond its original form. In the process, it became something I hadn’t fully anticipated—a deeply personal journey through the first year and a half of the pandemic, far more intimate than I had originally envisioned.
What's next for you?
I have a couple of series I’m considering developing into books, including Cut Food and Memory of Absence, both of which are currently at the top of my list.
