Darth Across America is a portrait series shot in 2012, on a 3-week-long RV trip across the Untied States.

This portrait series was great experiment in the power of pop culture. The Darth Vader mask not only allowed me to connect with Americans from all walks of life, but the mask also offered my subjects anonymity and a prompt to drop their inhibitions, the largest challenge any portrait photographer faces.

I found Star Wars fans in the most unexpected places and each portrait has a story or a conversation about our most beloved Dark Lord.
