"Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up." Pablo Picasso
Photography has never been a business for me—it’s a lifelong love rooted in practice, curiosity, and being open to what unfolds. From an early age, it would have been my first career choice, though life took a different direction. I became an entrepreneur in the printing business and later a pioneer in environmental paper engineering. That path continues to shape how I work, grounding my photography in material knowledge, patience, and care for the finished print.
As a child with dyslexia, education was often emotionally difficult, shaped by limited understanding at the time. A camera offered another way of expressing myself. Photography began nearly six decades ago with a pinhole camera in fifth grade and gradually became not an escape from life, but a way of moving through it.
Over time, photography grew into a way of thinking and observing—one rooted in intuition, pattern, and feeling, allowing expression beyond words. Throughout this journey, the encouragement of family and friends has been an essential presence, reinforcing the value of following a path that feels authentic.
I work with both film and digital cameras, and I only present photographs I genuinely care about—whether traditional C-prints, C-print reproductions, or digital prints. Each piece worthy of completion before I share it. I spend the time it takes to get there. I’m not interested in producing volume; I’m intimate with every image I choose to share.
My approach is self-taught and experimental, guided by experience and intuition, and shaped by a belief that a photograph isn’t finished until ink meets paper. In the studio, I print and hand-process both limited and open editions, embracing subtle imperfections and chance as part of the work. The final print matters as much as the image itself.
If you’re looking for artists driven by trends, social media visibility, or influencer culture, I’m not that photographer. My work isn’t made to chase popularity—it’s made to be lived with.
An invitation to slow down, notice what’s often overlooked, and live with photographs that bring reflection, calm, and lasting presence into everyday spaces.
The name Drift Studio reflects how I approach both art and life: following curiosity, trusting the process, and staying open to discovery.
