I create photography that visually communicates ideas and personalities. Specializing in narrative-driven portraiture and lifestyle, my images are bold and quirky with a skewed reality.

The framework of my pictures draws from time spent working as a Photojournalist, coupled with time spent studying conceptual commercial photography at the Academy of Art University. The style of my images draw inspiration from Guy Bourdin, Helmut Newton and Richard Avedon (to name a few).

I believe a photograph has a split-second to make an impact. It should seduce the viewer into surveying the picture again and again. Images that make an impact are memorable; memorable images provoke action. This is what I think about when pre-visualizing projects.

I live in Long Beach, California with Dea and our two Australian Cattle Dogs, Bourbon and Fig.
