Hi there (prounounced hah-nah).

I translate real moments and imagined ones into memorable images.

My practice spans documentary photography, photo illustration, and editorial work. I’ve documented public art for New York City’s Department of Cultural Affairs and created visual work for fiction and cultural publications. I’m also the photo editor at Verklempt, a Jewish culture magazine, where I collaborate closely with editors and contributors to shape photographic narratives from concept to print.

I’m a recurring visual contributor to The New Yorker, New York Magazine, The Wall Street Journal, Tablet, and GQ.
