Photography as Visual Studies

The idea

I’ve been designing professionally for over a decade, and taking photographs for roughly twice as long.

Photography isn’t a separate hobby for me, it’s a tool I use to train how I see.


I approach it the same way I approach design: through systems and constraints. Every image here is shot straight out of camera, so no cropping, no post-processing. I work exclusively with manual-focus lenses, which means every decision has to be made before pressing the shutter.


I’m not interested in depicting subjects. I’m interested in composition, contrast, materiality, and spatial logic.

The same principles show up everywhere else in my work,
just expressed through different mediums.
