Photographer / Art Director / Director 

 

I was born in California but raised in Michigan. Returning to the West Coast after my time in the midwest instilled a unique perspective in how I photograph the world. 

​

The lessons I learned  from attending film school have had a major influence in shaping my shooting style. Focusing on directing and cinematography allowed me to transition those skills into a photographic medium and apply a lot of the same techniques.

 

Capturing a sense of emotion in my photographs is the main priority.

"I think aesthetically recording spontaneous action, rather than carefully posing a picture, is the most valid and expressive use of photography,"
