About

I’m BySonder — an artist, photographer, and filmmaker based in Chicago.
My work is rooted in people — in the small, quiet moments that reveal who we really are. I’m drawn to faces, light, movement, and the stories hidden in between.

Through street photography, travel, and portraiture, I aim to capture sonder — that deep realization that everyone around us carries a world of their own.

Whether it’s the energy of the city, a fleeting glance, or a still moment of reflection, I photograph what feels real.
Because that’s where truth — and beauty — live.
