A New Print Collaboration With Docu Magazine

I’m excited to share that I was recently selected to collaborate with Docu Magazine, an independent photography publisher based in Finland, on a special-edition print magazine. Docu was founded on the belief that strong photography deserves a lasting place in print, not just a fleeting moment online—a philosophy that closely aligns with how I approach my work.

This release marks a new chapter in my publishing work. I’ve previously published three full-length photography books through Fonthill Media, each focused on long-form visual storytelling. This collaboration with Docu Magazine represents my first entry into magazine-format print, allowing the work to exist in a more editorial and rhythm-driven form.

Why Magazine Print Matters

The magazine format offers a different way of engaging with photography. Unlike books, which often unfold as a complete narrative, magazines encourage movement—shorter sequences, intentional pacing, and individual images that stand on their own. In this edition, each photograph is given its own page, creating space for pause while maintaining momentum from beginning to end.

Print remains central to my practice. In a digital environment where images are rapidly consumed and easily forgotten, physical publications invite slower viewing. Texture, paper, and scale influence how photographs are read and remembered. A magazine can live on a table, be revisited, and shared—existing as a physical object rather than a temporary screen-based experience.

Abandoned Places and American Transition

This special edition features 20 photographs across 20 pages, documenting abandoned locations throughout the United States. The spaces range from industrial sites and state hospitals to theaters, schools, religious structures, and other places that once held clear purpose within their communities. Each location was built to serve a specific function—work, care, gathering, education, belief—and each now exists in a state of suspension, shaped by economic shifts, evolving labor systems, and long-term social change.

Rather than approaching these sites as relics or curiosities, the work treats them as evidence. These structures remain as physical records of decisions made over time: industries that moved or collapsed, institutions that were restructured or defunded, communities that changed faster than their architecture could adapt. What stands empty today once represented stability, progress, or civic investment. Their abandonment reveals the fragility of those promises.

The photographs focus on what lingers. Peeling paint, altered rooms, and repurposed materials point to both use and neglect, reminding us that these spaces were shaped by human presence long before they were left behind. Absence here is not presented as emptiness, but as a condition—one that reflects transition rather than erasure. The buildings continue to hold memory, even as their original purpose fades.

Collectively, these locations mirror broader transformations in American culture, industry, and society. They ask quiet questions about value, permanence, and what is deemed worth maintaining.
