I am a photographer who specializes in using documentary style photography to tell stories for fashion, lifestyle & advertising clients. I also have an MFA in Photography and love to work on personal projects & photo books because I contain multitudes!
I live in Long Beach, CA because I like being close to LA, but not too close.
My work has a depth which communicates authenticity, allowing viewers to connect with the subjects. I have a keen eye for capturing intimate moments that convey vulnerability, and my unique perspective results in photographs that are not only visually striking but also emotionally resonant.
I have honed my skills for 12 years in the commercial photography industry, working on diverse projects with a wide range of subjects and clientele. I enjoy crafting strategic visual narratives tailored to address the client’s specific needs and also creating a beautiful image.
I grew up as a skateboarder and worked in marketing & social media before following my dreams to become a photographer. I am a huge fan of Mad Men and Severance, and recently got my blue belt in BJJ.
The work is mysterious and important, and I appreciate each challenge equally.
