BIO

I have loved making pictures for as long as I can remember. As a young boy my interest in photography was inspired by my “shutterbug” grandfather. I have portraits of my second grade classmates with their science projects that I look at with wonder. I imagine myself as a seven year old with my Kodak Instamatic posing them for portraits.

After graduating from Cornell University I spent several months traveling in Europe doing street photography. This led to work as a photojournalist in New York. At the time I was also shooting personal documentary projects focused on human interest stories. I dreamed of being a member of Magnum Photos. 

On the path to establishing my own career I worked as a photo assistant in New York for several years. This led to an interest in commercial assignments and my business flourished with successful corporate, advertising and non-profit campaigns.

I’m known for imagery that is uniquely creative and authentic with beautiful light. My clients value the warmth and professionalism with which I approach every project.

I love telling stories by connecting with people and places and making pictures. Whether it be on location, in the studio or on the street.

Raised on pastrami and grit (New York), lived in the clouds and rain (Seattle), I now reside in the sun and humidity (Atlanta).
