In the most basic terms, I click a button to capture a split second in time. In a more complex way, I am a highly detail oriented and technical photographer with a fanatical approach to composition, colour, execution and technique. Be it capturing the jumpers of Vanuatu Islands, a car shoot for Aston Martin Lagonda or the latest Nike Kobe shoes, I am relying on over 20 years of photography experience to meticulously execute the vision of the client in the highest resolution possible, on time and on budget. As an ambassador to Phase One cameras, I am creating my work on the world’s most advanced camera system, with 151 mega pixels at my disposal to tell a story with each image produced.
When not on a client shoot, I can be found in my custom-built studio working on multiple projects in different stages of production and experimentation. Creatively envisioning concepts for a shoot and problem-solving real-time issues to successfully achieve that shoot are one of my favourite and most rewarding things to do. Trying to create something different, repeatedly testing it and finding solutions to complicated technical challenges allows me to stay creatively sharp and continue to produce exclusively unique campaigns for my clients.
I live in Los Angeles with my wife Susan and our 2 cats - Foo and Smash. I am a proud Field Instructor and Ambassador for Phase One Cameras, SanDisk Professional, Broncolor US, Eizo Monitors and f-stop for which I am the host for their webinars- f-Stop Gear Webinars (Knowledge Labs).
