So many pictures, and so many stories behind them.

When I look back at my projects, I’m reminded of all the small challenges that happen before the final shot. During a shoot, I rarely notice how many are happening or how many tiny decisions I make before pressing the shutter.

It’s not always visible in the final image, but if you’re curious about how I get these shots, keep reading. I’ve selected a few projects that stand out, not just for the story they tell but for what they reveal about my process.

Here I share a closer look at how I approach a project, from planning to retouching and everything in between.
