Artist Statement

I photograph exotic people who have fearlessly lived their lives. They are usually a little banged up, but that’s what I love about them. 

My work has taken me from hardcore porn sets, into the BDSM world, the fashion world, and into a seedy motel room that I built as a set in my living room. I’m currently developing a feature film about a porn star at the end of the Golden Age of Porn. 

Over time I’ve shifted from classic fly-on-the-wall documentary to constructing and directing my own stories. But my focus is always the same – to make an intimate, human connection with each person I photograph. 

My images humanize sex workers and other people who live on the fringes of society. I want to erase the boundaries between us and them.
