About
My work brings together social perspectives, creative thinking, photography and computer science. People and their individual stories are at its heart. In my portraits, I look for more than a beautiful image: an authentic encounter that shows each person’s dignity, whether on the street or in a carefully staged studio setting. This interest in people also connects my work in design, teaching and research.
