The Time Thief
I came to photography as an engineer. Thirteen years at Booz Allen Hamilton taught me precision, about how systems work, how machines translate intention into result. When I left corporate life in 2021, I brought that discipline with me when founding Ubuntu Fine Art.
Having explored and immersed myself in cultures in 18 countries. I photograph what I feel: people moving through their lives, landscapes that hold their history, moments that belong to no one and everyone.
