Shooting since the ’80s, when I first picked up my dad’s Kodak Instamatic, my journey with photography really took off with a Canon AE-1—and a lot of trial and error in the darkroom. I later earned an MA in Film and Video Production, blending classical technique with modern storytelling.

 

My work spans everything from industrial machinery and historic architecture to commercial events, fashion, and editorial assignments (including Playboy). While I love vibrant color, much of my 35mm and all of my 120 medium format work is shot in striking black and white.

 

I look for faces with character, real attitude, and stories waiting to be told. Whether on a commercial assignment or exploring the world, I favor a candid approach—capturing honest, believable moments that feel genuine.
