Photographer in Los Angeles, California

Since the indie-rock and independent-film boom of the 1990s, when I started my career as a photographer, I’ve played a number of roles. I’ve worked as an art director, set designer, photo editor and director of photography for music, movie, and lifestyle magazines. I made my name shooting musicians, actors and film directors, and enjoyed connecting with people based on our love of the creative process. These days I still do work like that, but am focusing on lifestyle and design, with an emphasis on interiors and environmental portraits. While the subject matter is a little different, my approach is the same: aiming to capture a scene in an intimate, honest way that’s still stylish and distinct. Overall, I strive to deliver high-quality photographs and video on a budget and within production deadlines while maintaining a calm, fun and creative environment.
