Since the seventh grade I have had a camera at my side. And through the years, like so many others, photography has just been a passionate hobby for me. I had focused on my primary career in the film and television industry to sharpen my eye, and put strong weight into understand the value of light in all its complexities. In so many ways, it is the paint on the canvas. I understand enough about light, to know I still have so much to learn.
Creative passions drive me to work hard, and capture light as it interacts with the elements of life, people, places and things. There is so much to explore.
I believe it is more than just experience that makes you good at what you do, it is the simple passion to be better than yesterday!
