Minimalist Photography

A few years ago, a friend introduced me to photography. We often went into nature and took photos of the leaves, mountains, trees, and of each other. In the time following, I developed an eye for photography and have gotten the privilege to take pictures for various clothing brands, clubs, and weddings.

​

However, I didn't develop a style of photography until I visited a concentration camp in Germany in the summer of 2019. (I was in Berlin to serve at refugee camps and do other volunteer work) I took a tour at the Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp Memorial during one of the touring days, and my perspective on photography completely changed.

​

We were allowed to take photos at this camp, but in doing so, I realized that photography in this place wasn't about making the photos look saturated and edgy -- I instead wanted the location to tell its own story. After looking at these photos, I realized this idea can apply to any space. Taking seemingly mundane images began to interest me, and so now I continue to click my camera and let the images tell themselves.

​

Below are some of the photos from the camp.
