My artistic journey delves into the enigmatic world of dark and passionate imagery, where I explore the ethereal depths of human emotion and the haunting beauty of the unknown. Through the fusion of alternative photographic mediums, such as wet plate collodion and instant film, I endeavor to capture moments of raw intensity that transcend the boundaries of traditional photography.

Wet plate collodion, with its unpredictable nature and arcane techniques, becomes the perfect vessel for channeling the mystique of my artistic vision. It is a medium that embraces imperfections, revealing the imperfect beauty lurking beneath the surface. The tactile process of wet plate collodion draws me into a symbiotic relationship with my subjects and materials, allowing me to immerse myself in the creation of each unique image.

Instant film, on the other hand, offers a sense of urgency and immediacy, an electrifying connection to the present moment. Its dark, brooding aesthetic serves as a powerful counterpoint to the ephemeral nature of our existence, a reflection of the shadows that dance within our souls.

My work, in all its analog glory, invites viewers to confront their own inner mysteries and desires, to journey with me through the darkness and uncover the profound beauty that dwells there. I seek to ignite emotions, provoke introspection, and inspire a fascination with the unseen, for within the shadows lies the radiant heart of human passion, and through the alchemy of alternative photographic mediums, I aim to capture and share that profound and timeless essence.
