Project Overview
This project is a personal data portrait that maps the geographic locations where I have taken photographs across the United States, with a focus on architectural and landscape subjects. Each data point, represented as a pin, marks a moment of observation and documents how I move through space and what environments I am drawn to capture. Rather than presenting photographs as isolated images, this work reframes them as spatial data and reveals patterns of travel, attention, and visual interest over time.
Exploring material and light dynamics in studio setups.

A Visual Journey
The project explores how photography functions not only as visual documentation but also as a record of presence. By translating a photographic archive into a geospatial map, the work becomes a portrait of where I have been, what I choose to notice, and how those choices accumulate into a larger narrative. The density, distribution, and clustering of pins begin to reveal implicit behaviors, including frequent regions, gaps, and routes. In this way, subjective experience is transformed into a measurable and visual structure.
