I am passionate about photographing people and places.
About Me
I've been taking personal photographs for 20 years, but I only recently found my vision and emerged as a professional. I am a versatile photographer who desires to create beauty and meaning with my work. I feel at home shooting on a bustling convention show floor as much as on the quiet roof of a skyscraper.
My experience includes portraiture, special events, and architectural photography.
My expertise spans 35mm / 2 ¼ / 645 / 4x5 cameras, delicate supplemental lighting, distortion & perspective correction.
