photography

photographer, journalist, editor, producer

This is a small collection of photo stories that I have documented. As a storyteller, photography has given me a unique perspective to look at stories from a variety of angles, challenging me to consider positions that I wouldn't normally consider.

covid capstone: new orleans ems

This project was completed in December of 2020. I was in New Orleans, a city I have always known but never lived in long term. I was happy to work with Lt. Jonathan C. Fourcade and NOEMS. I observed and interviewed the two employees heard and seen here, EMT Jumana Ghanem and Paramedic Lakethia McCoy at the NOEMS Station.

character story: liz beckham

This is a single subject story in 10 photos. I spent several evenings backstage at Hidden Room Theatre in Austin, Texas at the Royal Arch Masonic Lodge while they performed a production of the Duchess of Malfi. As a performer myself, I was drawn to the preparations and interactions that happened behind the scenes during the production. Everything happened in one place, in the room seen here, as the Masonic Lodge is not a traditional performance space.

character story: michaelie love

This is a single subject story in 15 photos. The story covers Michaelie Love, a student at the University of Texas at Austin who struggles with dermatillomania, a skin picking disorder that shares similarities with OCD. Love shares her experience while preparing to perform in the 39th Annual Madrigal Dinner, a production that took place in the Student Union Building at UT Austin campus.

Stop motion is also photography technically!
