I like form and shape and strength in pictures.

Even though I didn't get a business degree, I enjoyed learning about economics.

It's important to let your subjects be themselves.

And what excites me most is the type of public, the fact that the Parisian people have a broader cultural understanding than many Americans do.

Each time I did assignments or editorials, I realized that I wanted to do something more. I saw that it wasn't just about the clothes.

Generally, the French highly promote culture and the arts, and photography is in their blood.

What I particularly liked was that, coming from California and not being involved in the New York scene, I developed my personal way, in my own way, at my own pace.
