Photographer, Pilot, Driver, Diver
From getting my Fisher Price 110 Camera, to when I was able to heft my Dad's Nikon, I have been burning through film since I was 8 years old. Inspired by the look of classic American cinema and film noir, I tell a story with my work, whether with stills or video.
I find my joy in experiencing life, and all the adventures that come with it. A love of travel (and adrenaline) has taken me to places as disparate as the deserts of the southwest United States, buffalo herds in Wyoming, rivers and waterfalls in Thailand, and inside the Blue Angels' C-130 during an airshow. All along, my constant companion has been my camera. Because some experiences are best lived outside of the viewfinder, I also like to put down the camera, take a breath, and wait for the perfect time to click the shutter.
My work with portraiture also gives me a chance to slow down. From headshots, to working environmental portraiture, I can quickly build a rapport with almost anyone I come in contact with. As an introspective person, I love to find out about the people I photograph and what makes them tick. Regardless of whether it's a new business owner talking about when they decided to open a storefront, a racing driver talking about the perfect heel-toe, or an aircraft owner talking about the last widget they added to their plane, everyone has a story to tell; and the story is what makes the image.
My time with photography has taken me from film, to the early days of digital point and shoots, straight through to the newest in digital medium format shooting 100+ megapixel images. With camera stabilizers, aerial photography platforms, underwater cameras, and vehicle rigs available to use for your project, I can cover everything from SCUBA to 15,000 feet in the air.
