Performance

I’ve sought out shooting shows, musicals, and dance pieces much more in recent years; from BTS work to live stills. Coming from the theatre world myself makes me have a natural affinity for these spaces and the special energy they generate and hold.

Journalism

Working in photojournalism, I’ve been lucky enough to capture a variety of powerful stories in collaboration with different Bay Area publications. Some of the topics I’ve covered include natural disasters, the housing crisis, and community heroes.

I love the unpredictable and dynamic nature of this work, and how I am given the special opportunity to learn something new with each assignment.

Portraits

Here is a collection of some portraits I’ve made throughout the years of artists, musicians, academics and other subjects. I love capturing people at flow in their natural environment and I think a great portrait is often about creating an open dialogue and collaborative space with your subject.

Josef Sudek X Georg Kolbe Collage Series

Art, Illustration, Mixed Media

I made this series last winter while in Mt. Shasta, and never posted it on my website, until now. This is one of my favorite series. I love combining seemingly opposing elements of photography and sculpture with pastel color schemes and earth tones…and these two artists I felt had a surprising sense of kinship with each other that could rest well in a frame together. In both their work, I find a stoic brotherhood of sorts.

Hope you enjoy it and feel free to reach out to me for prints and follow my other artistic adventures on Instagram here @paraprose. Many thanks!
