Us

A sub-series of Portrait Profiles, Us is a set of portraits of people, related and unrelated, who conjoin by adopting each other's mannerisms, style, or behavior. A rare but common occurrence, these one-of-a-kind synergisms portray the deep and genuine connection capable in humans, a social theme that often inspires me to photograph. Equally compelling about this population is precisely how the individuals merge, a range that spans from a mirror reflection to a counterpoint.

Portrait Profiles are sets of typologies that were inspired by long walks on the streets of New York City. After observing so much diversity, I started wanting to connect the patterns I saw and do one of the many things photography does best: place people from different times and places together in order to tell a new story.
