Private Funding & Patronage
This is a line for direct support through private funding and patronage, allowing me to deepen my artistic practice and lean into to analog documentation. Your support helps sustain the cost of film, processing, printing, and the time required to create intentional, meaningful work.
What Your Support Enables:
The continuation of my analog photography practice—shooting, developing, and printing work that preserves moments in physical form.
Monthly projects that document landscapes, people, and histories, capturing raw and intimate records of the present.
The ability to send prints directly to your home as part of an ongoing exchange of images and stories.
A commitment to slow media—creating work outside the constraints of algorithms and fleeting digital formats.
The development of a growing archive that resists disappearance and values tangible documentation of our time.
Forms of Support
Fund My Personal Analog Project:
Tree Speak:
Tree Speak is a film photography series exploring the expressiveness of winter trees—their skeletal forms holding the memory of time across the fields and landscapes of North Carolina. This project is an intimate study of presence, decay, and resilience, capturing the quiet language of trees in the dormant season.
Your support directly funds film, darkroom materials, and large format printing at a local state of the art community darkroom facility, allowing me to bring these images to life through traditional analog processes on a large scale.
Fund a Session:
Support the art of analog photography by funding a film session and print package for an individual. You can choose to sponsor a specific person or contribute to a needs-based fund that supplements sessions for those who want to hire me but may not be able to meet the full cost.
Fund a Film Session – Starting at $500
Your patronage helps make high-quality, handcrafted photography more accessible while sustaining the value of this intimate, tangible art form. Interested in supporting? Let’s connect.
Ongoing Support:
Starting at $25 per month, your patronage directly contributes to this practice. Depending on your level of support, you will receive:
$25/month – A monthly print from the current project, mailed directly to you.
$50/month – Two prints per month, plus occasional behind-the-scenes process updates.
$100/month – A curated selection of prints, process notes, and a personal letter reflecting on the work each month.
