ABOUT
I first picked up a camera when I was 5 years old, and never put it down. What began as a childhood hobby grew into a career that has spanned editorial, corporate, and commercial photography for more than two decades. Along the way, I’ve developed a passion for capturing authentic moments and telling visual stories that connect with people, whether in front of a magazine spread or a corporate campaign.
I’m a Los Angeles-based commercial portrait and lifestyle photographer helping brands and corporate clients create imagery that builds trust, strengthens identity, and resonates with audiences. I partner directly with marketing teams, communications departments, and leadership to produce photographs that feel intentional, authentic, and aligned with business goals.
My foundation is in photojournalism, having worked with organizations including the Chicago Tribune, the St. Petersburg (Florida) Times, and the Associated Press, as well as national publications such as Smithsonian and Newsweek. I continue to take on select editorial assignments, keeping my storytelling grounded in observation, honesty, and nuance.
For brands and businesses, that means imagery that doesn’t feel staged or generic. Whether photographing executives, healthcare professionals, faculty, researchers, or creative teams, I focus on drawing out natural presence and creating environments where people feel comfortable and confident. The result is polished yet human imagery designed to communicate clearly and earn trust.
WORKING WITH ME
\
Great photography is collaborative. I work closely with clients from concept through final delivery to understand the story they want to tell and the audience they want to reach. Depending on the project, this might include shaping visual concepts, scouting locations, building a crew, or simply creating a relaxed environment where people feel at ease. My goal is always to make the process efficient, enjoyable, and focused on producing imagery that serves a clear purpose.
I work with universities, healthcare systems, financial institutions, corporations, and mission-driven organizations throughout Southern California and beyond. If you’re planning an editorial assignment, brand campaign, or corporate photography project, I’d love to hear what you’re working on.
When I’m not taking pictures, I live in Ventura with my wife, two children, and a mildly neurotic but lovable dog. My personal time is spent gardening, playing guitar, and exploring local breweries, all of which fuel my creativity and perspective as a photographer.
