All That My Eyes Have Seen 

These are the scenes, streets, and spaces that have drawn me in over the years — a visual record of the places I’ve explored and the moments that stayed with me.

2025

Oʻahu and Kauaʻi, Hawaiʻi

​Living on Oʻahu and visiting Kauaʻi this year has been a gift. The mountains stretch endlessly, humbling and inspiring me, and each view felt like a reminder to slow down and capture the beauty around me.

All images for this project were captured by me on 35mm film.

2024-2025

San Fransisco

Palermo moves at its own pace, full of color, life, and endless shades of blue around every corner. Rome carries the energy of a big city, yet a gentle sense of slowness emerges among the ancient ruins scattered throughout. These photos were captured between big bowls of carbonara and the sweetest, juiciest peaches, preserving the moments of everyday delight on film.

July 2024

Reykjavik, Iceland

Iceland’s landscapes are alive with green — moss, hills, and valleys that feel almost tangible. Ice-cold waters rush through valleys, waterfalls command the eye, and the ever-present rain and fog make every moment feel fresh, wild, and urgent. These were the moments I captured on film, textures and moods I wanted to hold onto forever.

All images for this project were captured by me on 35mm film.

June 2024

Dublin, Ireland

​There’s something irresistible about Dublin — the streets, the colors, the way the cloudy skies make the city glow. I wandered, and wandered some more, and captured it all on film, letting the city’s energy guide my lens.

August 2023

Thessaloniki and Skopelos, Greece

Thessaloniki hums with big-city energy, full of life, movement, and endless corners to explore. The ferry to Skopelos was an all-day affair, but worth every minute to spend a few nights in such a quiet, beautiful place. On the island, the food was impeccable, every corner offered a new shot, and the architecture captivated me... polished, harmonious but still with a distinct uniqueness in each new home I stumbled upon.

August 2023

Palermo and Rome, Italy

Palermo moves at its own pace, full of color, life, and endless shades of blue around every corner. Rome carries the energy of a big city, yet a gentle sense of slowness emerges among the ancient ruins scattered throughout. These photos were captured between big bowls of carbonara and the sweetest, juiciest peaches, preserving the moments of everyday delight on film.

August 2023

Scottish Highlands and Edinburgh

Edinburgh’s gothic streets and ancient stone feel alive with stories, while the Highlands stretch on in countless shades of green, often shrouded in fog. Both inspire me to slow down and capture their unique moods on film.

August 2023

Dublin, Ireland

There’s a special pull Dublin has for me — its vibrant streets and doors against soft, overcast skies always feel like home.​ Each visit is a chance to wander, capture those contrasts on film, and soak in the unique rhythm of the city.

February 2023

Ubud, Bali

woodenstatues3.jpg

My first international trip as a solo traveler and what a place to start. From the vibrant local art markets, to the temples around every corner, to the candy colored mopeds that filled every street- Ubud was filled with life at every turn. I was left wide-eyed in wonder.

 

This project features both 35mm film and DSLR photos I shot and edited. 

February 2023

Taipei, Taiwan

An overnight layover wasn’t nearly long enough to explore even a sliver of Taipei. I’m looking forward to the next time my travels bring me back.

 

This project features 35mm shots I captured at the National Palace Museum in February 2023.

January 2023

The Eddie- Oʻahu, Hawaiʻi

The Eddie is one of the most prestigious big wave surfing competitions in the world. I made a last-minute decision to go, slept in my car in the ʻEhukai parking lot, and walked to Waimea Bay as the sun was rising. Witnessing the incredible power that the ocean holds and the absolute skill, talent, and utter fearlessness of the surfers charging those waves was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. 

This project was solely captured on my DSLR camera.

August 2022

Seattle, Washington

Sometimes it’s worth following the crowd. I explored Pike Place Market, Bainbridge Island, and Discovery Park, soaking in the sights and moments that make the city feel alive.

All images for this project were captured by me on 35mm film.

August/September 2021

San Fransisco, California

San Francisco feels like pure magic to me. Every visit leaves me inspired, as if each corner holds a photograph waiting to be taken. I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again, there’s light and color everywhere... but especially here.

All images for this project were captured by me on 35mm film.

April 2021

Reno, Nevada

Capturing these wild horses on film was an unforgettable experience — their presence, movement, and freedom felt almost tangible through the lens.

This project was solely captured on my DSLR camera.

Oʻahu over the years

Since 2017, Oʻahu has been my home — a place where I refined my photography, met some of my closest friends, and grew into new chapters of my life. Though I know it isn’t my forever home, I aim to carry its light and energy with me wherever I go.

This project features mostly 35mm film photographs with some DSLR images mixed in.
