Elly's Basement

2018- Richland , IA

About: A series of images from a farmhouse basement.

Background: These were taken shortly after my grandma in law had passed, I was exploring the house wondered into the basement. The initial feeling that washed over me was sad and empty but was immediately replaced with the warm memories of the 8 kids, grandkids, and great-kids that grew up loving this house.

Silent Struggles

About: A series dedicated to  unseen struggles and disabilities.

Background: The final project for my digital photography class. May is mental health awareness month and I wanted to use the project to tell a visual story on a topic that is not obviously seen.

Lights and Motion

2017- Multiple locations

About: A series dedicated to lights, their shadows and the motion they create.
