Slowing down, together. Workshops are an invitation into collective witnessing — through photography, place, and shared attention.
Upcoming Offerings
The Sidewalk School - A Signature Workshops - Field-Based Photography Practice
Sidewalk School is a field-based photography workshop that brings visual storytelling and reflective practice into public spaces. Moving through neighborhoods, streets, museums, and shared environments, participants use photography as a way of observing more closely, engaging with place, and exploring their relationship to the world around them.
Through guided exercises and collaborative inquiry, participants develop foundational photography skills while cultivating visual literacy, presence, and confidence in their creative voice.
Each workshop is shaped by the local environment, the rhythms of the community, and the experiences participants bring with them.
Currently offered as in-person workshops in select cities.
Held in Slow: 6-week online photography and reflective practice gathering
Held in Slow explores photography as a practice of attention, memory, and presence. Through image-making, dialogue, writing, and observation exercises, participants engage in a slower, more reflective relationship to seeing and the creative process.

Teaching in Partnership
I collaborate with schools, organizations, and communities to create workshops and learning experiences rooted in observation, reflection, and shared inquiry. Each collaboration evolves through the people, places, and conversations that shape the experience itself.

Photo Walk for Teens: Discovering Downtown LA Through Photography
Ages 15–18 · In Person
October 17, 2026, Saturday, 1:00-4:00
Designed specifically for high school students ages 15–18, this three-hour experience invites young photographers of all skill levels to explore, experiment, and see the city in new ways.
Learning to see the ordinary in extraordinary ways, students will apply perspective and creative approaches to photography while out in the field in Downtown Los Angeles.
Students will be encouraged to look closely to create a story in a single frame. From unexpected moments, we will capture images of people, places, light, architecture, and details.
Pedagogy
Interdisciplinary Exploration
Learning unfolds through collaborative critique, project-based assignments, and experimentation rooted in students’ lived experience.
Participants are invited to use photography as a tool for inquiry — to question their environments, cultures, and identities through visual language.
This process supports both technical development and conceptual awareness, allowing students to grow their ability to see and to articulate meaning through images.
Across classrooms, studios, workshops, and mentorship, my work centers on cultivating environments that support curiosity, attention, and reflection through practice.
This approach continues to evolve through teaching, photography, and ongoing collaboration with learners and communities.
My teaching practice is grounded in relational, inquiry-based learning — photography, mindfulness, and dialogue as tools for attention, reflection, and shared understanding. Rooted in the democratic philosophies of John Dewey and Paulo Freire, I see education as a collaborative space where teacher and student learn alongside one another, co-creating meaning through lived experience, curiosity, and presence.
