Me

My passion is for narrative portraiture. Where every location serves as a character in the narrative, enhancing the mood and depth of each portrait, capturing not just the physical presence of my subjects but also the subtleties of their personality and the stories that shape them. While studio work has its merits, I find the most compelling images emerge when I connect individuals with spaces that resonate with them to bring a narrative story to life.

Sometimes a photo isn’t enough to tell the story. In those instances, I’ll use paint, and canvas, or mixed media, or an installation to create the story, the texture, and the impact I desire.
