Deployed, Kabul (Series)
DESCRIPTION
These images are portraits of my peers, soldiers and fellow NCOs, taken while deployed for 9 months in Kabul, Afghanistan from 2016 to 2017. We were 29 members of the Army New York National Guard posted as a personal security detail for key leaders within the Middle Eastern Theatre. While deployed I wanted to capture images from a deployment that were more personal and atypical of most documentary work. I had a personal interest because I lived the same experience, the fears, the boredom and even the fun. There is a huge part of me in every portrait.
