Side Project: Hometown Parallelograms

Shot at my parents's house in Vermont. So this is what light looks like coming through a real window.





Second Project: Charlotte on Elm Street


A formal study of a nude body situated in an unfurnished, undecorated space. With so many typically available signifiers stripped from the scene, I was curious in what moods could be conveyed by composition and gesture alone.

Studies for Second Project




First Project: Reenactors of the Canfield Fair


I photographed Civil War reenactors as a way of exploring the role of subject self-presentation in portraiture. These men are extremely knowledgeable about the roles they play. In posing for the camera, they offered me an odd mixture of themselves and the anachronistic image they seek to (re)construct.

Nicholas Haggard








Quiet, sensual, simple, soft. Nicholas Haggard, of the Tinker Street Collective, makes photographs that are lighter than air. So much of this reminds me of what's been coming out of senior studio at Oberlin the last few years.
