Maitrī
Based in New York City, I am a street portrait photographer driven by the power of human connection.
Growing up in Astoria, Queens, ignited my fascination with the stories held within individuals. This connection forms the heart of my portraiture, a meditative process where I find a unique bond between myself, my lens, and the person in front of me. The endless urban environment of NYC, particularly its graffiti and architecture, provides a rich backdrop and inspiration for my images. My work has been featured in Tokyo’s Ephemere Magazine's "Familiar Stranger”.
One of my mantra in life is Maitri: Unconditional friendliness: A genuine wish for others to be happy and well, without any expectation of return.
