Support Humanizing Through Story

Since 2016, I’ve been using visual storytelling to document urgent issues and uplift overlooked voices across the U.S. As an independent photojournalist and documentarian, I’m not tied to any outlet. This freedom allows me to show up consistently, build long-term relationships, and tell human-centered stories with depth and care.

Your one-time donation supports travel, equipment, repairs, and the many behind-the-scenes costs of this work, from covering protest movements and refugee camps to documenting mutual aid, climate justice, and more.

If you believe in the power of images to advocate for humanity and justice, thank you for supporting this work.
