Background: I started shooting events and weddings professionally back in the 90's, in my hometown of Norfolk, VA. I studied traditional photography in high school, and then at community college--when digital photography was making it's debut. When I moved to NYC in 2002 I became more interested in portraits and nightlife. After obtaining a BA from the School of Visual Arts in 2005, I began working for Steven Klein until 2007. I currently work as a diverse freelance photographer, shooting all kinds of events, as well as fine art and commercial photography. What I enjoy most is interacting with people; capturing life moments, and expressing them from my point of view.

Approach: My approach to creating images is very much in the present. I have a strong sense of my surroundings and what is appropriate for each situation. I feel the overall vibe, connect with the subject(s) and begin the creative process. There is no set formula or method, just whatever works for that moment. My aesthetic style is photo journalistic, refined with a strong fashion sense.

Experience: Every shoot I am involved with provides beneficial insight that I apply towards my cumulative vision. I've worked on low and high budget jobs, in the most interesting and challenging locations from Nicaragua to Nepal. Being a photographer provides me with opportunities to work in the music and entertainment industries, with society and culture, fashion, sports and recreation, and the fine art gallery world. I am truly blessed to work among extremely talented, creative professionals who inspire me in so many ways.
