His latest project, No True Scotsman, is a pictorial interpretation of contemporary Scotland accompanied by a variety of mixed-media work, writing, and a self-published monograph.

The Big Island
In tandem with his master’s program, a monograph was developed in collaboration with New Zealand photobook publisher Photoforum NZ. The Big Island collects over a decade’s worth of black-and-white 35mm observational and street photography from the island of Hawaii.
