Architectural Photography as Art and a Tool of Documentation and Preservation

I am an architectural photographer documenting built environments in Seattle and beyond. The love of architecture and the way it speaks to us through shadow and form inspired me to leave a corporate career and become a professional photographer and photo-based artist.

I studied photography with John Stametz in 2011-12 at the University of Washington’s College of the Built Environments and with Claire Garoutte in 2012-14 at Seattle University. Since my graduation from Seattle University’s BFA Photography program, I have been on a mission to photograph early- and mid-century architecture in Seattle. I am especially interested in multifamily dwellings, as they often demonstrate how architecture contributes to affordable housing and community creation. I am currently working on an extensive photo survey of mid-century modern apartments on Seattle’s Capitol Hill in collaboration with Historian Tom Heuser.
