So…

I'm a photographer & director (and certified drone pilot), born and raised in West Los Angeles.

I grew up spending my time between Venice Beach and Hollywood, surrounded by surfing, skating, wild art, amazing music…and a camera.

With over 27 years of experience in the photography industry, my work is best known in the commercial and advertising world for brands including Disney, Cirque du Soleil, Apple Music, Microsoft, Porsche, Ferrari, GAP, Buick, Levis, Lucky Brand Jeans and much more.

I've recently won 3 ADDY AWARDS for commercial advertising work with “Mendocino Farms” and “The Bouqs”, 2 B&W Spider Awards, and I've created dozens of album artwork shoots, several music videos and multiple book covers.

However, my passion for photography was born out of my love for music. I've always been undeniably drawn to working with musicians and artists of all types. I have an insatiable energy for creating photographs and artwork for album covers and posters, creating music videos, or shooting live performances.

I also dedicate a lot of my time, helping out struggling upcoming artists, who need professional photoshoots and videos to help launch their career, but don't have big-label budgets to work with.

I also do volunteer photography work for the American Red Cross, First Robotics Competitions, and various other non-profit organizations.

I'm grateful for being able to travel the world for work, thankful for all of the amazing people I meet along the way, and I am always proud to call L.A. my home.
