Portrait

Hi, I'm Abigail. Photography, for me, isn't just about capturing beautiful images. It's about capturing truth. The quiet kind. The kind you feel in a passing glance, a shadow at golden hour, or a fleeting smile from a stranger on the street.

I built Abigail's POV as a space to share not just what I see but how I see. Through my lens, I explore the idea of sonder.

Through my lens, I capture more than moments – I capture the story behind the stranger. Every image is rooted in sonder – the powerful truth that every person holds a world of unseen dreams, struggles and triumphs. I don't just show you what life looks like. I show you what it feels like to stand in someone else's frame, if only for a second.

Sonder

noun

son·der

The feeling one has on realizing that every other individual one sees has a life as full and real as one’s own, in which they are the central character and others, including oneself, have secondary or insignificant roles:

In a state of sonder, each of us is at once a hero, a supporting cast member, and an extra in overlapping stories.
