Girls at Home: This is a series of portraits of teenage girls at home. The pictures were taken in and around Hunterdon County, a mostly affluent, rural area in western New Jersey.
Many of the portraits were made between 2012 and 2015, but the idea came several years earlier, with what is now the first picture in the series. I lived for a long while with that portrait taped up on my office wall, considering what it was I liked about it.
The girls were photographed through a screen door or window screen from outside the home. Shooting from the outside looking into the house was an important choice for me as it emphasized the sanctuary provided by the home at a time of transition in the girls’ lives.

Allie in Whitley: This short personal series of my daughter Alexandria is made up from pictures taken on two consecutive trips back to the village in England where I grew up. The village and the surrounding fields and woodland has changed little since my childhood and these pictures are made in locations that relate to specific childhood memories of my own.
