INFO
I’m a New York–based filmmaker and interdisciplinary image-maker working across photography, moving image, casting, installation, and nightlife programming. Rooted in realism and shaped through trust-based collaboration, my work explores the relationship between image-making, social performance, and lived experience within contemporary subcultural spaces.
Working between documentary sensibility and constructed narrative, I develop projects through long-term relationships built across nightlife, fashion, online spaces, street casting, and underground creative communities. Much of the work is initiated through street scouting, casting, and online research, evolving from early tests and fittings into fully realized shoots, films, and material outcomes. My practice often begins within existing social ecosystems where collaboration, desire, performance, and identity unfold simultaneously in front of and behind the camera.
While my films are often scripted and intentionally staged, they carry a documentary sensibility: intimate, observational, and emotionally precise. Through this process, I construct immersive narrative worlds shaped by subcultural spaces and personal mythologies, where image-making becomes a way of recording proximity, process, and lived experience.
My practice blends casting, directing, producing, styling, and research into a self-sustaining workflow that moves fluidly between highly collaborative productions and smaller, independently produced encounters. Depending on the project, this can mean working one-on-one through intimate tests and fittings, or coordinating larger teams, tight timelines, and ambitious productions with limited resources. Across formats, I approach image-making as both a collaborative process and a form of social infrastructure..
Alongside my film and photography practice, I frequently collaborate on casting-led editorial and commercial projects with artists, musicians, publications, and fashion brands. My work reflects an ongoing interest in how contemporary identities are performed, mediated, and circulated across nightlife, digital culture, and public image.
I’m the founder of Club POLO, a recurring nightlife project operating across Manhattan and Brooklyn. Conceived as both a party and living archive, Club POLO brings together artists, musicians, models, nightlife figures, and emerging creatives across generations and disciplines, functioning as an extension of the social worlds my work documents and produces.
My films, screenings, and installations have been presented internationally, including projects in New York, Berlin, Marseille, Rome, Paris, Vienna, Turin, and Miami. In 2022, my first solo exhibition, Trade Winds, White Heat, was presented at Public Works Administration in New York as a multi-channel installation of video and digital works. Recent projects include Trial Period, a film examining performance and power within New York nightlife later featured on Criterion Channel, and Fashion Year, a six-channel installation first presented in Marseille before later screenings in Berlin and New York.
My work has been featured in Interview Magazine, The New York Times, Document Journal, Crack Magazine, Paper Magazine, Plaster Magazine, Vanity Teen, and the Los Angeles Times.
I hold a BFA in Film/Video from Pratt Institute.
