Welcome

When I arrived in Seattle as a fresh immigrant, I was inspired by my new home and knew, I had to create something based on this wonderful place and the people there.

'12 Seattleites' is an ongoing photography project documenting the lives of twelve inhabitants of Seattle, Washington. The goal is to portray the city by peeking into local lives and lifestyles. Each subject has graciously allowed me to follow them around over the course of a few days, documenting their work, life and passion.

At the end of the day, '12 Seattleites' will be a book, an art show and more.

While '12 Seattleites' is the brainchild and baby of one person, it could not come to life without the volunteering subjects. Their faith in my vision is at the very core of the entire project. Without these people, there would be no Seattleites to document.
