I Photograph My Daughter’s Strength And Playfulness While Disrupting The Stereotypes Of Girls

ADVERTISEMENT

I am interested in capturing a hidden reality through my photography – it’s not about “smile for the camera” and photographs of pretty places. There are far more emotions that people and places convey. These every day things that we sometimes don’t take notice to. My photographs are created with both digital photography, film, and in some cases a hybrid of both as I continue to develop my style.

This body of work titled “Long Summer Days” follows my relationship with my daughter, Haley, as a stay at home father. We live in a small urban community in a small home; however, in a world full of technology, video games, and electronics, we chose a device free lifestyle for her. Haley is at the age where she is developing her strong personality and it is all these elements in which I am capturing and documenting. This body of work disrupts stereotypes of girls while highlighting her delightfully unselfconscious strength, independence, defiance, and playfulness.

    I am an artist living in Albany, Oregon working in the medium of photography. I first learned photography while attending Oregon State University's JumpstART program, a pre-college of the arts for high school students. I utilize digital photography, film, and alternative process - shooting with darkroom paper, ortho litho film, and currently wet plate collodion with antique large format view cameras. I am a 2023 Critical Mass Finalist and my work has been selected for recognition by the Smithsonian Photography Awards and the Palm Springs Photo Festival. My work has also been featured with Der Spiegel, Bento, ZEITjUNG, Flavorwire, and Edge of Humanity Magazine. I have been exhibited at Blue Sky Gallery in Portland Oregon, PhotoPlace Gallery's online show, The Curated Fridge, and LoosenArt in Millepiani Gallery in Rome Italy.
