As a young man I had many passions: travel, film, acting, modeling etc. We all dream, but perhaps few as vividly as I do. I knew I wanted to explore the arts, so I set out to acquire a worldview. By my early 20’s I had already spent time in over 19 countries throughout Europe, Asia and South America. Upon coming home, I pursued modeling, acting and fashion, but these pursuits still failed to scratch my creative itch. They did not satisfy my need to create an open window to the world; a place that went beyond what I see. A portal to share my vision. Finding photography not only filled that requisite, it brought to me a level of fulfillment that very few people are fortunate enough to experience.
Although I trained under the tutelage of some of the best photographers in the business, I knew early on that this was not enough. Vision utilizes the technicalities of the equipment but extends beyond the end of the lens. It starts in the heart and mind of the photographer and is realized through the soul of the subject. I take pride in capturing the essence of a personal moment or the joy of a gathering.
As I get to know you, I will gain a perspective that will allow me to fully manifest your vision. That is my promise to you as your photographer and your partner in delivering a quality photography experience.
