Documentary Photography
The majority of my professional career is spent traveling to unique locations looking for stories to tell through images. I love the opportunity of getting access behind the scenes of people and places that shape the world we live in today.Portrait Photography
When I am not involved in documentary projects I offer portraiture photo sessions. Similar to finding stories around the world, there is a wonderful opportunity to provide a story about person with a photo and I strive to capture that story in every shoot.Writer & Curator
I write a weekly newsletter on Substack where I discuss the creative process of photography and my personal journey as a photographer. I also publish articles for many various sources and outlets.YouTube & Film Maker
This is a new venture for me but a fun one nevertheless. I recently started making educational photography videos on YouTube. I also work freelance as a Videographer, Director of Photography, and Film Editor.
