Photography amazes me with its unique blend of art, science, and visual delight. Getting behind the lens also helps me stay focused on the positive side of life. The camera massages my mind, and the images empower me to tell stories without a single word.
I began my pursuit of photography + design by creating promotional materials for San Diego-based bands. This led me behind the lens, where I discovered a passion for shooting live music performances. The passion evolved as I started photographing everything from car crashes to fine portraiture, and it continues to grow with every click of the shutter. I thrive on the challenge of composing unique images from common surroundings, and adding fresh twists to classic scenes.
