I’m constantly balancing the look of film with the speed of digital, but honestly? The gear doesn't mean much if you haven’t put in the work to actually be there. I’m big on getting to know the people I’m photographing. The best shots don’t happen until I’ve spent enough time in a community that people stop noticing I’m even holding a camera. That’s when you get the real stuff, the messy, quiet, honest moments that actually matter.
