I shoot in a photojournalistic and documentary style, always keeping an eye out for the candid moments of authenticity. I can pose folks when that’s needed, but the most beautiful moments I’ll capture are unplanned.

My work is on the “dark and moody” side of the spectrum. I use available lighting whenever possible to let even the darkest rooms show their true character. 

I just love photography. The passage of time is a beautiful, unfolding tragedy. Our memories are fickle things – how often have you been surprised at how good you look in an old photo? The quickly running stream of time can be frozen and examined with a great photograph.

The dusty light of a western sunrise – you can almost feel the warmth.

The singer howling his heart out – you can almost hear the timbre of his voice.

The bride snuggling into her partner’s arms – you can almost feel that loving embrace.

The director explaining how the muse gave her a beloved film – you can almost witness that moment of inspiration.

The therapist showing the depths of her capacity to care in her headshot session – you can almost sense the healing they’re capable of.

Almost. I’ll never stop trying to get a little bit closer to fully immortalizing these perfect moments. Even if I can’t, the pursuit is what drives me.

All this artsy philosophizing aside, I want to be a friend to those I photograph. Great photography requires vulnerability, and vulnerability requires trust. Let’s find out what values and loves we have in common so we can see each other deeply and be ourselves together.

“Develop an interest in life as you see it; the people, things, literature, music – the world is so rich, simply throbbing with rich treasures, beautiful souls and interesting people. Forget yourself.” – Henry Miller
