In many ways, I grew up here more than in my small North Jersey hometown. Philadelphia’s grittiness prepared me to begin my professional career in New York City. From 2003 to 2015, after dozens of commissions, marrying my wife, and having two kids, I felt the pull to return to Philadelphia.
What I found in Philly was: how to use the camera to make it feel like a participant in the action, to be direct, keep it simple, to let my subjects speak for themselves, and to be open, inclusive, and think on my feet.
