Growing up in the vibrant environment of New York City, I was surrounded by inspiration. My creative journey began with a camera in hand, and photography has been at the heart of my artistic expression ever since. After starting my career in finance, I made the life-changing decision to leave the corporate world and fully immerse myself in the art of photography, a medium that allows me to combine creativity with storytelling.
I spent my early years learning the craft from the ground up—working as a studio assistant, set builder, and lighting technician at a large commercial studio in New York. I then gained valuable experience assisting on set and on location for several New York Photographers. These experiences, paired with formal studies at the School of Visual Arts, prepared me to strike out on my own. Over the years, I’ve built a diverse portfolio photographing high-profile events, world leaders, and high-energy moments in sports. My work is driven by a passion for creating imagery that tells a story and evokes emotion.
With over 15 years of experience, I bring a holistic perspective to creative projects. Whether I’m on the sidelines of a game, in the studio, or on location, I thrive on collaborating with clients to bring their visions to life. My background has given me a deep understanding of the technical and creative aspects of photography, allowing me to deliver results that exceed expectations.
When I’m not working, I enjoy surfing, hiking, attending live events, and exploring new places—often with my camera in hand.
