Through For Kate, I wanted to create a compelling narrative to return that element of humanity that gets lost through news articles. Exploring this story through a child's perspective gave us an innocent perception of the world and the people in it. Through her eyes, we see a person only for their best qualities as a human being, regardless of status.

Through my camera lens, I strive to continue exploring all corners of the world, one story at a time. more...
