About

I’m a storyteller at heart, drawn to the beauty of everyday moments and the power of collaboration. My creative journey began as a kid, borrowing my mom’s Minolta 8000i film camera and trying to recreate frames I’d seen in movies.

Early in my career, I had the privilege of interning with Annie Leibovitz, which deepened my passion for photography and visual storytelling. After earning a B.F.A. in Film Production with an emphasis in Directing from Chapman University, I honed my craft working with commercial brands in New York City. Along the way, I’ve embraced photography, filmmaking, and commercial projects—always seeking new ways to bring stories to life.

Every frame I capture and every project I pursue reflects my belief that there’s a story waiting to be told in every corner of the world.

Currently based in N.Y.C.

Above all, this year taught me that great people can be found anywhere. Sometimes they cross your path by chance, other times, you gotta dig a little deeper to discover them. But they’re always there. To everyone who made this year feel poetic—thank you. The stories I’ve gathered will stay tucked in my pockets forever. . 📸 @frank_hammond

Everything moves so fast here, figured I’d slow it down a bit. Gratefully humbled after my first week in Tokyo.
