Portraits

Nepal & Philadelphia · 2025

Faces from the trail and from campus — lodge kitchens, village courtyards, and the steps of College Hall. Commissioned and found, the same brief: keep the person in the light they actually stood in.

An older man in a cream shawl and knit cardigan smiling at the camera — Window light, a fringed shawl, and a look that does not perform.

Black-and-white portrait of an elderly man with a long white beard sitting cross-legged outdoors — Lanterns behind him, a small pouch in the hand — a sitting that holds still.

A young girl in a pink top and red-bead necklace smiling in a crowded marketplace — The room is busy. She looks straight through it.

A child in a purple fleece crouching on a wooden lodge floor — Pink sandals, a cartoon zipper, and a look that is not a pose.

A young woman in a white halter dress leaning against stone campus architecture — Stone, daylight, a clean dress — a commissioned outdoor portrait.

A graduate in an open black gown and white dress standing by a pond — Gown open, water behind, the hour after the ceremony.

A young woman in a white dress standing under spring blossoms on a stone path — Blossom overhead, yellow flowers at the bank.

A couple sitting on a fountain rim in a city park, the woman holding a bright bouquet — Peonies, striped shirt, the rim of the fountain.

Four women in white dresses standing on the stone steps of a historic campus building — Four on the stairs — white dresses against green stone.

A woman in a white blazer holding a black graduation gown and cap on a brick path — Gown in one hand, cap in the other. The year hangs on the tassel.
