Originally from Jacksonville, Florida, raised by a family that didn’t prioritize travel. I made it a personal goal to explore beyond what I knew—visiting other countries and learning from their cultures. On my first trip to Israel in 2012, I discovered a love for travel photography, and from that point on I began carrying my camera with me on every journey.

Travel, for me, exists as a brief moment in time, shaped by the understanding that I will never return to a place in the same way again. Because of that, I’m drawn to noticing what appears along the way. My photographic work emerges from close attention to detail while passing through, capturing fleeting moments in a thoughtful and creative way—both to revisit the memory and to share it with others.

Creativity has always been part of my life. As a child, I enjoyed drawing, painting, scrapbooking, and making things with my hands. In college, I majored in Japanese and developed a deep appreciation for Japan, which continues to influence my work and my camera of choice, FujiFim. While much of my current collection was photographed in Japan, it also includes images from Italy and the United States.

Destination Frank was created as a home for this body of work—not as a travel guide or itinerary, but as a photographic journal. A space for images gathered in passing, presented as artwork.
