Frequently Asked Questions

What services do you offer?

I sell color and black & white darkroom fine art photographic prints. I also am a freelance photographer who specializes in portrait and event photography.

If you are interested in my freelance services, shoot me an email!

How can I purchase your prints?

You can purchase prints through my online store, or in-person at a local art market. You can see upcoming art markets that I am participating in on my Instagram.

Do you sell original darkroom prints?

Yes! Upon request, I can send out pricing information regarding a darkroom print original.

That being said, generally, all work listed for sale on my site are inkjet reproductions of darkroom prints or negative scans, unless otherwise stated. This is due to factors such as production time, price point, and darkroom access.

Do you ship internationally?

Unfortunately, I currently only ship my work to locations in the United States. However, I would love to expand shipping to a worldwide audience in the future!

How do you make your work?

I take photographs using film (analog) cameras. Think of disposable cameras–those use film, too! Film photography limits the number of photographs you can take, and you can only see your images once your film is developed.

If I have access to a lab and darkroom at the time, I develop my film myself and print it in the darkroom. If not, I outsource film development and scan in my images. Often, I either layer my film in the darkroom or in the scanner bed to make multi-exposed images.

Who do you make your work for?

My target audience includes photography and fine art enthusiasts, those interested in the meaning behind my work, and analog-photography lovers.

For my most recent series, people who might relate to my work are concert-goers, those who are concerned about food safety/the regulation of additives in the U.S., and people concerned about the lax regulation on cellphone RF exposure in the U.S.

What are your print sizes?

My prints are currently available in 8.5″ x 11″, 11″ x 14″, and 2″ x 2.75″ mini-print sizes. Besides prints, I also sell stickers and magnets.
