Sim's profile
I am a Baltimore-based photographer who uses 35mm film and digital photography to capture everyday moments. My work is inspired by artists such as Carrie Mae Weems, Ernest Withers, Roy DeCarava, and Pete Eckert. I use my artistic practice to navigate and manage my anxiety and as an exercise in gratitude.
Following a handful of eye surgeries and a corneal transplant, photography is my way of honoring fleeting moments, focusing not on technical perfection but on the joy of noticing, pausing, and sharing the small, photogenic details that might otherwise go unseen.
My work is driven by my longing to preserve memories on film. The angles of my photographic work match my eye’s vantage point or my direct positioning when struck by the feeling of something I want to capture and remember. I prefer stills and portraits to staged scenes to capture what I hope is a level of authenticity and vulnerability that alludes me in verbal and written communication.
