What advice would you give to photographers struggling to turn loose images into a cohesive body of work?

The advice I would give to photographers struggling to turn loose images into a cohesive body of work is to find out what they want to say as a person first, before trying to find out what they want to say solely as an artist. And when they do that, it’d be easier to select (and continue to take) images that align with their principles and values. Additionally, I would advise them to find bodies of work by other artists that speak to them and investigate why they’re drawn to those specific bodies of work. This will help develop their taste.

- What first drew you to photography, and what keeps you motivated to pick up the camera today?

As a child, I loved the feeling I got looking through my family’s photo albums and my sister’s dance studio’s photo catalogs. I loved that you could frequently return to the images. No matter how much I looked at them, I could trust that they would evoke the same feeling in me or even offer a new perspective on a distant memory. Today, life keeps me motivated to pick up the camera. The simple fact that I am still living and can still pick up a camera is enough motivation for me to continue. To be able to still have the gift of vision and sight and to be able to play with light is a blessing, and I want to continue to share my light and vision with others as long as I am able to. I use the camera as a tool to engage my life with other lives.
