Photographing in Nigeria is always challengingβ€” the camera is often unwelcome, and outsiders are viewed with suspicion. Yet once permission is granted, and acceptance earned, a cornucopia of vibrant visual elements and powerful extremes is opened up for my heart, mind, and camera to absorb.

Visual Riff: I See Myself in You

While interviewing a housing advocate in LA, they mentioned a Mayan proverb, "In lak'ech, hala ken," which translates to "I am another you, you are another me." This resonated with me, so I asked my team and family to select archived images with this theme in mind.

These images were commissioned by DeLeon Tequila to promote their brand roll out to a wider, American audience in 2009.

I have always felt uncomfortable shooting highly stylized and staged scenarios, but as with life, it's always good to stretch yourself and push to try new things.

Visual Riff: Festive

Festivity at its core is a deeply human impulseβ€”an attempt to create meaning, connection, and escape through collective expression and rituals. Yet the outward vibrance of celebration can often mask a far more complex inner landscape.

When the bell rings at midnight, the blood, sweat, and tears of our persistence mix with our hopes and dreams for what is to comeβ€” bringing new resilience and conviction, whether we're dancing the night away or having a cozy night in with our loved ones.

Festivity is a deeply human impulseβ€”an attempt to create meaning, connection, and escape through collective expression. Yet, a still image isolates a moment and invites a slower reading: joy interwoven with exhaustion, spectacle paired with anonymity, and vitality existing alongside vulnerability.

Our joy comes not from the presents we receive but from those who gather around our tables. The greatest gift we can give one another is our presence. However you choose to celebrate, I hope that your days are filled with love, warmth, and laughter. Happy Holidays!

With large electrical pylons looming overhead, villagers in Goraya hand-thresh rice using old metal oil barrels. The workers are not paid for their labor, but the local policeman who owns the land allows them to keep a portion of the rice. Pakistan,1998.
