Images from Life

My primary objective is to offer my skills and experience in photojournalism, event, and studio portraiture to create a strong and accessible image. As a photographer, it is my goal to capture the essence of the subject.

I studied fine art and photography at the Art Institute of Boston in Massachusetts. Traveling across the country and living in Europe has offered me insight in understanding the diversity of other cultures and how to continuously see the new in even that which I'm well acquainted. My photos have been printed in various books and periodicals in Western North Carolina including The Laurel of Asheville, Asheville Citizen-Times and Mountain Xpress. My work has been on display in various venues including The Biltmore Estate, Black Mountain Center for the Arts, Pack Place in downtown Asheville, Pack Library in Asheville, and The Heritage Art Gallery at the Grove Arcade in Asheville.

Clientele include Asheville Downtown Association, Jazz After Five, Mountain Xpress and The Asheville-Citizen Times. A few testimonials of my work can be found at Portrait Photographers - Asheville, NC and AshevilleNC.com.

I am currently engaged in a photojournalism, event photography (weddings, social occasions), fashion photography, portraiture, and promotional photos for artists and musicians. I am regularly published in The Laurel of Asheville magazine where I have written several how-to articles on photography techniques.

One of my great loves is street photography. It is something I have done briefly years ago, but today have found it almost a calling. While attending the Art Institute of Boston, I would ride the subways and quickly draw people at random as they went about their day. I feel that I have taken this one step further as I now engage in capturing people as they are, void of interpretation. You can watch my video on youtube if you care to see some more of my work.

What excites me the most is the unexpected, and the anticipation of what may unfold. I engage life with no expectations and embrace the challenge of capturing events as they unfold.
