I’m an internationally minded photographer and writer currently based in New York City. For more than 20 twenty years, I have worked as a photographer in the documentary, photojournalism, corporate, and cultural heritage fields. I have extensive experience in image editing; pitching original stories; collaborating with editors and photographers; project researching; interviewing; and licensing and sourcing photographs.
I’m a diehard news junkie with an avid interest in current events and international affairs. In my extensive work as a documentary photographer, I have covered the lives of ethnic Karen refugees along the Thailand/Myanmar border; Muslim American communities across the United States; The Black Lives Matter Movement in New York City; the early days of the pandemic in Tokyo; and many other topics. My work has taken me around the United States and to places such as Pakistan, Hong Kong, and Thailand.
Both national and international publications have featured my work, including The Guardian, GQ Japan, The New York Times, The Huffington Post, Haaretz, and Suddeutsche Zeitung. My work has been in numerous solo and group exhibitions in North America, Europe, and Asia. My photos are also housed in several museum collections around the world.
I am also currently a collections photographer at The Museum of Modern Art, where I document the museum's extensive collections and do press photography for exhibitions. I perform photo editing, color correction, and metadata tagging. I also work with the museum’s DAM system and project management software.
I am a journalist for Blind Magazine, where I write about photography, photojournalism, and other related stories from around the world. I also authored a series of articles on the refugee crisis stemming from the War in Ukraine for the outlet. I am also a freelance Art and Cultural writer for The New York Amsterdam News, Formerly I was a columnist for the Hong Kong Free Press where I covered issues of press freedom, predominantly around the APAC region.
