ABOUT ME

I am a documentary and equine photographer with a background in anthropology and academic publishing. My current photographic work is focused on the practice of fox hunting (or fox chasing) in the U.S., and on developing a more social documentary approach to horse show photography.

 

My earlier work (see Projects) includes folk religion in Argentina, yerba mate production, behind the scenes in the performing arts, student life at Harvard, and museum collections. The ongoing project "Pas(e)ando" explores my relationship with Argentina, and the tension between being a foreign tourist "passing through," and at the same time someone with a long association with the country, dating to 2008.

 

I came to photography through horses, buying my first DSLR from my barn's show photographer. During college I served as the Sports Photography Chair and Photo Editor-at-Large for The Harvard Crimson, where I covered a wide range of sports, news events, and feature stories. I also had several extended opportunities, through a Jaromir Ledecky International Journalism Fellowship, a Weissman International Internship, and a Harvard College Research Program grant, to photograph in South America. These trips culminated in my undergraduate thesis, supervised by Chris Killip: Following la Difunta, a photoethnography of an Argentine folk saint known as the Difunta Correa. This book received highest honors as well as several thesis awards, including a Hoopes Prize for outstanding scholarly work.

 

My photographs have appeared in The Boston Globe, The Star-Ledger, Harvard Magazine, The Harvard Crimson, and Argentine newspapers Ámbito Financiero and the Buenos Aires Herald, and have received awards from the Associated Collegiate Press and the Boston Press Photographers Association.​
