Photography has been the fundamental cornerstone throughout my professional career encompassing a diverse range of skills. At the young age of five years old, my mother brought our family on a trip to SeaWorld. It was here my love for photography began as she allowed me the chance to take numerous photographs to capture the moment. Unfortunately, Shamu destroyed the camera, but that also taught me my first important lesson: depending on the subject matter, do not stand too close. From there, my academic journey started at the age of 14 studying Computer Science at FAU. It is here I was introduced to the world of photo editing. My camera skills never waned, and soon I was asked by my close friends to photograph the most important moment of their lives, their wedding, a place where, surprisingly, my now wife managed to catch the bouquet! I have been married for almost four years and would not be here without the biggest support system in my corner that she provides. With the continuing encouragement of my wife and friends alike, I was able to successfully begin my own company, one that is still growing to this day. Outside of work I can be found riding my bike to that perfect spot at the beach, dog sitting (because why have one when you can have them all?), and rock climbing. Life never slows down, so I very much enjoy seizing the moment when I can!
Beyond the creativity through the lens, I am deeply passionate about music, finding joy and expression through playing the piano, guitar, drums, and more. This year marks a significant milestone as I work on releasing my own piano album, a project that intertwines my love for music with storytelling, offering a new element to my artistic expression.
Why I do what I do
With decades of experience in the visual arts, I thrive on nurturing a passion for capturing life's moments. My journey through the world of imagery is not just a career; it’s a lifelong devotion driven by the desire to freeze time and savor the essence of the present through my camera's lens. It’s been amazing to create a portfolio of collaborations with the world’s most renowned universities like Harvard and MIT to most esteemed institutions like the Met Museum, Walt Disney Studios, the Pentagon, and many more. This journey has enabled me to capture the vibrant energies of cultural and personal stories in over 45 countries sculpturing a career that’s become a colorful mosaic of experiences with each frame telling its own tale. Capturing the subtleties and nuances of each moment and highlighting the beauty tucked away in the details has been a source of pride and joy in my work. There is a saying that while memories are the experience of the moment, photographs freeze them in time for an eternity. For me, the most profound gratification comes from witnessing the impact—seeing the glint of joy in a client's eyes as their dreams are vividly captured when a fleeting moment is eternally enshrined. In a journey marked by perpetual growth and relentless exploration, I am committed to going beyond the “norm” and creating visuals that do more than appear—they captivate and linger, leaving a lasting impression on all who encounter them.
