I promise to not let my personal biases obstruct or cloud me from capturing the truth. I strive to not alter or change how the subject is seen in any way, for as a human that power is not mine to wield I vow to capture my subject as God intended them to be viewed. I promise to uphold the natural beauty of everyone and everything in this world and to not let them be perceived visually as anything different.

I promise to never lie or deceive my subject in any way by having them believe my intentions are anything besides what they truly are. I vow to be honest and completely transparent about what my work will be used for and who all will have access to view them. I vow to be honest with myself and to never take on something that I know that I cannot handle or do my best work with.

I vow to truly learn about my subjects and understand their stories, emotions, and thoughts before conducting any type of photography. If given the chance, I wish to know someone personally before I subject them to a photo, for this makes my work more honest and meaningful.

I vow to listen to any doubts or issues that my subjects have when conducting any work. I will never, under any circumstances, purposefully share anything in which my subjects do not want me to, whether it be about their story or a photo. I always attempt to keep my subject’s emotions and opinions in mind so that they will always feel more comfortable when working with me. I vow to keep my subject’s discomforts and objections in mind, for I never want to force them to do or share something that they do not want to.
