I'm a Western New York based photographer focusing on urban decay, abandoned places, cemeteries and older architectural styles. My preferred style is what I think of as a 'big picture' view of things; I like to shoot ultra-wide angle to capture as much as I can in a single photo to make it feel like the viewer is there with me, taking in the grand decay of a place.

At the moment (2017) I would consider myself a semi-professional photographer. I shoot weddings with a somewhat atypical style, as well as doing product photography for small items like jewelry. I also produced two album covers for Cold Tear Records in 2013; Goran Geto's 'Diving to Deep (Dub Techno Edition)' and Shogun Spy's 'Falling Slowly Falling Deeply', and two more in 2015 for Brazilian band Via Sagrada's 'Imortal' and Displacer's 'Crossing the Threshold'. To keep with the theme of working with record labels, I also contributed one of my photos to Blue Tapes' companion book 'Dreamhouse' in late 2013. In 2014 I won two awards at local art shows; one honorable mention and one first place in photography. In 2015 I won first place at a different arts festival, in addition to another honorable mention.
