100 faces of quarantine
When my grandmother of 80+ years said “This is like nothing I’ve ever seen before” I knew COVID-19 was something that would change our lives forever.
People are all stuck inside their homes, isolated. At the same time, we are all united and fighting the same fight.
This unique harmony of isolation and unity inspired me to find a way to capture the times we’re living in.
By staying outside and taking other necessary precautions, I went from house to house, documenting what quarantine looks and feels like for each of us, and how different, but also similar, our situations are.
These are the times.
And this is my project on the COVID-19 quarantine of 2020.
Kapawi
Deep in the Amazon Rainforest of Ecuador, the indigenous Achuar tribe live as one with the earth, always caring for their environment and never taking advantage of the rainforest.
In recent years, billion dollar oil companies have begun drilling throughout the Amazon, destroying parts of the forest. The Achuar nation is standing up against these corporations to protect and preserve the Amazon, their home.
Kapawi Ecolodge is an award-winning community ecotourism enterprise that directly supports the sustainable development of the Achuar indigenous nation, and is run completely by the tribe.
In order to continue their mission, I was sent to help tell the story of Kapawi and the Achuar people, so more people would support and join the cause, and ultimately, the Amazon Rainforest can thrive.
WE ARE 6ONE5
After the 2020 Nashville tornado, an idea to use photography to get the attention of public relief efforts, to bring aid to individuals and neighborhoods that weren’t being covered by the media turned into so much more.
In less 24 hours, a city-wide relief project was under way as a result, and needs all over the city were met.
lululemon Ambassadors
Lululemon is a company centered around community, culture, and sweat.
I was asked to shoot the 2019 ambassador onboarding campaign across the region, and these are the passionate, mindful, and strong humans I got to document along the way.
*Photos can be found in stores across Tennessee, Alabama, and Kentucky.”
Visit Music City
For years when photography was just a hobby, I’d spend every single day walking around the streets of Nashville taking photos of anything that caught my eye.
The Nashville skyline became somewhat of an addiction to me- something that I was challenged by every day to find unique perspectives that I haven’t seen before.
So when Visit Music City commissioned me to spend a week capturing the skyline for the city’s tourism board, I was floored and honored. When potential tourists consider visiting Nashville, these are the photos Nashville will use to showcase the city.
This is Nashville. This is my home.
