  • On Photography

    I began working as a professional still and motion picture photographer in 1996. Since then, I have captured gigabytes of digital stills, tens of thousands of frames on film, miles of motion picture stock, and hundreds of hours on video.

    I combine this on-set and in-field production experience with with my graphic design abilities to provide clients with outstanding and compelling visual communication.

    I create powerful human portraits, distinct still lifes and grand landscapes whether working alone with a camera or managing a crew and a studio full of gear.

    I provide my clients with a start-to-finish imaging solution. I can work with you from first concept to final delivery, or at any stage in between.

    Can I create a solution for you? Answer a question? Offer advice? Please contact me.

  • The Anthony Project

    The Anthony Project explores how cancer redefines lives through the personal story of Anthony, who lost his life to the disease during the production of the project.

    Anthony

    It offers a multifaceted view of the human struggle for survival, combining portraiture, candid snapshots, e-mails, blogs, and audio interviews with Anthony, his family members, and close friends.

  • L.A. Rock Fan

    This portrait series documents concertgoers in Los Angeles. Over 200 music enthusiasts participated in the project, which I produced at some of the best-known establishments in Rock and Roll. These included the Roxy, Whisky A Go Go, and Doug Weston’s Troubadour.

    Orgy performs at Key Club

    I selected the ten featured venues for their historical and contemporary significance in L.A.’s nation-leading music scene.

    Shopping at Amoeba Music Hollywood

    I chose specific shows, featuring such divergent talents as Sun Kil Moon, Lars Frederikson & the Bastards, Pedro the Lion, and Orgy, for their uniquely fashionable and visually striking devotees.

  • Once Around

    This photo series captures a 20,000-mile drive along the backroads of America. I plotted points of interest beforehand, then chose the specific route along the way.

    Oklahoma Farm

    I visited a broad spectrum of cultural sites, from Frank Lloyd Wright's Fallingwater and Branson, Missouri, to the Greenbrier Congressional nuclear bunker and the Precious Moments Park and Chapel.

    A&B Drive-In

    Historic destinations included Trinity Site (location of the first atomic bomb test,) Little Bighorn, Kent State, and Moton Field in Tuskegee, Alabama.

    Arrow Sign & Lake Erie

    Among the natural wonders I explored were Meteor Crater, the Bonneville Salt Flats, South Dakota's Badlands, and the Great Sand Dunes.
