I am a photographer based out of Brooklyn, NY, available for editorial and commissioned work.

I am in the midst of a long-term documentary, an investigation into the abstract relationship between Germany and the Jewish people over 60 years since the end of World War II. In the summer of 2008 I traveled through Germany for two months, exploring the landscape and meeting people in their twenties, coming-of-age as part of the third generation, the grandchildren of WWII. This body of work focuses on young people and the psychological aftereffects and trauma passed down through generations.

The photographs in kin* explore the new Germany, on a quest to redefine itself in the shadow of the Third Reich. It probes the potential of future generations from opposite sides of a conflict to come together rather than be held apart by the weight of history.

I am currently applying for grants which will allow me to continue working on kin* in the Summer of 2010.
