About
I've been telling stories with a camera since my early teens, when I shot photojournalism for a local paper. I haven't put the camera down since.
What keeps me coming back is the craft. I'm after technical perfection in the intricacies of lighting, composition, and post-processing, and I'm never quite finished learning any of it. Every frame is an attempt at the same thing: an image that is technically sound and genuinely striking.
Over the years I've branched out well past where I started, into landscape, food, sports, and street photography, with a bit of fashion thrown in whenever I want a new challenge. The gallery below is a sampling from across all of it.
The landscape and food work lends itself especially well to large prints, where the scale is really what pays off. If you're interested in prints, or you have something particular in mind, I'd be glad to hear from you.
