About

A person with tattoos on their arms is holding a camera up to their face, taking a photo in a mirror, with a serious expression, in black and white.

I’m a documentary photographer of Japanese and Italian heritage based in Albuquerque, New Mexico. My work centers on people, place, and cultural traditions across the American Southwest, with an emphasis on community, history, and everyday life.

I’m drawn to long-form visual storytelling and to photographs built through time, trust, and attention. Much of my work is rooted in New Mexico, where I continue to photograph the region through the lives of the people who shape it.

My book, Seventh and Central: Lowriders (University of New Mexico Press, 2026), reflects that commitment through a community-centered portrait of Albuquerque’s lowrider culture, shaped by family, friendship, craftsmanship, and pride.
