My photography is born of a fascination with people, cultures and circumstances. The shutter is then tempered to exact justice on what is there; a fraction of a second to be representative of the entire being, where the potential for injustice is enormous.

I was born and spent my childhood in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. Due to political turmoil, I found myself on American soil in 1995. Only 12 when I left what I remember of my homeland is not what it is today. As an adult, I feel compelled to go back to the country I love dearly.

At an early age, I was fascinated and intrigued by cameras and dreamed of owning one. In college I experienced a renewed enthusiasm and appreciation for photography after taking a basic photography course. It all began with a simple Sony cybershot. Later I received my first SLR Camera – a Canon 10d from my father.


I am a spectator of life. I try to find a way to capture brief perpetual moments, which will never be reproduced. As the images of other photographers have inspired me to explore the world, I hope my own contributions will inspire others to do the same.
