Photographer | North East USA
Tell us about your background?
Been creating since I could hold the tools in my hands. Started taking photos with an old broken SLR when I was a 14 year old punk poet. It didn’t really become my dominant creative passion till I was about 18 - I’ve been hooked since then.
What inspires you?
My life in the woods - the constant flow of creation and destruction in nature and living through the elements. Heavy storms and spider webs, mythology and magick.
What are you able to do for a photo?
I haven’t found anything I couldn’t do yet. From being drenched in muddy water to having bugs crawling all over my face - I’ll go the extra mile for what I’m capturing.

What is the material you are using?
A camera and a lens, the earth, my art, my body, my life, my soul and magick.
What are the moments you like to size?
They vary too much to list - when I can capture what I’m feeling and seeing, I’m happy.
Your favorite artists?
Jahl and Sasoleah, Aleister Crowley, Kostas Seremetis, Serket Sumati. I could name the usual but I’ll stick to those who’ve consistently blown me away with their talent, guidance and inspiration over the years.

The nicest exhibition you have seen?
The large assortment of webs the spiders wove in my backyard glistening with dewdrops and sunshine in the morning.
The nicest moment in your life? Have you photos of it?
My work is a collection of these moments, I don’t think I could narrow it down to one single point in time.
