My passion for photography began in eighth grade and continues to grow every day. Photography has always been more than a creative practice for me—it is a lifelong exploration of light, craftsmanship, and personal expression.
I believe that to truly master your art, you must first master the technical foundation behind it. This philosophy has guided me to explore every aspect of the photographic process, from camera design and optics to printing techniques. Rather than simply following existing paths, I have created my own approach to photography—developing tools and processes that support my personal vision. My work embraces the beauty of traditional photographic methods, hands on process ,including platinum printing, carbon transfer, salt printing, silver gelatin, and other historic alternative processes.
I also explore large and ultra-large format photography, working with cameras from 4x5 to 20×24 inches, allowing me to create detailed contact prints with a deep connection to the original negative. Through my research in optical design, I developed the TT Signature Lens System to create a more expressive way of seeing. Inspired by the spirit of the pictorialist tradition, these lenses are designed not only to record an image, but to interpret light, atmosphere, and emotion.
My goal is to provide photographers with a simple and creative system for a distinctive look with interchangeable focal lengths. One compact system. Multiple personalities. Endless creativity. Photography remains my personal journey of discovery, where technique becomes the foundation for creativity and every image becomes an expression of vision.
