• Thoughts on Photography: "For me photography is a practice full of contradictions. I do this work because I want to be fully present, while contributing to a lasting understanding of history. I find myself constantly searching for beauty in really difficult situations. I make pictures about things that make me furious, or make me fall in love, or sometimes both. More than anything I make pictures because I'm curious and it allows me to go around learning from people as a perpetual student."
• What it Means to be a Canon EOL: "There are a lot of photographers, particularly women photographers in the EOL program, who I've admired since I first picked up a camera, and being among them is a real dream. I'm endlessly grateful for the support and the gear which I depend on for being so tough and reliable, which allows me to focus on the story even when I'm working in difficult situations."
