I make people and things look AWESOME ... Photographically
I love to create photographs. Sometimes people even give me money to do it. It makes sense, I’ve been doing it for over thirty years, and I’m quite good at it. Though, when it comes to the paid stuff, some folks may be interested in a specific style of work more than a photographer's experience and technical skills. That’s cool, I get it, marketing and specialization are important. But, really, photography isn’t as critical as something like brain surgery, it’s more of an art, which is what I studied at university, by the way. My visual arts background has allowed me to be pretty resourceful and open to a diverse range of optics. The appreciation and understanding I achieved through a myriad of fine art aesthetics have helped me make an easy transition to the commercial advertising and editorial photography market. I'm the kind of person that's always looking for new and different challenges to expand my skills and knowledge base. The experience I've gained and the techniques I've learned by immersing myself into multiple disiplines of the photographic medium have only fortified my analytical and creative acumen in a way concentration in a single speciality cannot. After all, creativity has more to do with finding original solutions to a variety of obstacles, and less to do with individual distinction anyway.
I don’t really like to keep score or brag about who I worked with, I prefer to let my work speak for itself. Although, if you need to know that sort of stuff, then I’ll be happy to tell you. Look over my work and if you like what you see here and think I can shoot what you need, then please give me a call or send me an email. I’m working out of a spacious client-friendly studio located in Charlotte, NC, but I also travel a lot for work too. I’m fine with shooting indoors and outdoors, but I am more partial to being inside where I can really control the light. That’s where I’m at my best.
Alright, I think that’s about it. I'm sure there’s probably other stuff I should mention, but it can wait for another time. I hope you like what you see and I look forward to the opportunity of working with you someday.
Cheers!
