I'm primarily a portrait/wedding photographer for a living, but I love landscape photography equally and travel whenever possible. Occasionally I do local architecture photography for Airbnb to help pay the bills (they invited me based on my Flickr stream - who said Flickr never paid off?), as well as web and graphic design on the side. I've been a Getty Images contributor since April 2012 (view my portfolio) with good success, an Alamy contributor since January 2013 (view my portfolio) with limited success, and an Arcangel contributor since November 2015 (view my portfolio) with no success...yet!

Waiting for a long exposure to finish in Honolulu, Hawaii

If you're interested in using my photos, please send me a Flickrmail or take a look at my Getty portfolio. Occasionally I will allow free usage for a good cause. I do not allow free usage on the grounds of "great exposure for you as an artist." Please do not use my photos without permission or the copyright gods will have their vengeance.

Being a film-using hipster in college for a self-portrait assignment

I do try to follow the work of a handful of favorite photographers, but I'm not that good at keeping up with everyone. If I follow you, I promise I'll try to say things other than annoyingly generic comments like "great work" =P (Every time you comment "very nice" or post group comment codes with sparkle gifs, God kills a kitten.)

Wedding photographer shootout!

Sometimes I max out on Flickr and disappear for a week to a month. I'm usually still photographing things, though, and you can always find my latest work/edits on my Facebook page, which I update more often than Flickr because you don't have to do keywording on Facebook and I get lazy.

I check out the profiles of almost everyone who comments/favorites/follows me, even if I don't always have time to comment on their work. I tend to block people who have the default Flickr avatar and 0 public photos, so be forewarned - Flickr is about sharing, not lurking, and I take creep-factor seriously! Users whose favorites include NSFW rubbish get blocked. Users who are only following me get blocked. Users who keep inviting 1000 of my photos to their group get blocked. Don't be creepy #sorrynotsorry
