​

A dynamic photographer and digital media generalist, building upon a diverse portfolio of visual arts, photography, and post-production work.

​

Visual arts are, for me, a means to convey or capture a feeling. Whether hitting upon a feeling from within the maker or from a commissioned concept. There is a great satisfaction in subtle manipulation of the levels of light, color, and balance to evoke a particular response in the viewer.  

​

Focal points of current work include architectural and product photography and custom digital media for brand identity, creative works, and personally significant projects.
