I am drawn to anything that is singular both it’s look and humanity. I believe learning your craft should result in pushing artistic boundaries, not simply following trends.

I begin with ideas, images, and getting to know my model and team. I value a high degree of collaboration, as I believe the best results come from equal energy from everyone involved. Whether the shoot is simple or more complex, the conversation between visualizing the frame and what is happening inside the frame is essential.

The gear I work with allows me to achieve many aspects of film photography without the expense or inconvenience of using film. In my opinion the look of film cannot be matched, but the flexibility of shooting digital helps the process run smoothly. I use a combination of lighting techniques, lens filters, shot framing, and post production to help us achieve a look that doesn’t fall into the sterility that many digital images seem to have.
