Some places stay with you. Others, most people never get the chance to see.

That's what drove me to pick up a camera — the idea that a single image can preserve a moment, share it, and take someone somewhere they'd always wanted to be. Not just a record of a place, but the feeling of standing in it.

Every shoot starts long before I press the shutter. I research locations obsessively — watching, reading, asking locals — looking for the angle nobody's standing at yet. The goal is never the obvious shot. It's the one that makes you stop.

The name Zymetrix is rooted in symmetry — a geometry you'll find across the work, from Kyoto temple courtyards to the Capitol's reflection on still water. Order and beauty aren't opposites. Sometimes they're the same thing.

I call this body of work Quiet Geometry. The first volume is a digital photobook of fifty photographs from five countries — Iceland, Japan, France, Copenhagen, Finland — released June 13, 2026.

Each print is made to put you somewhere you'd rather be.
