Currently, based in the Tokyo area, I specialize in lifestyle, portrait, street and travel.
My passion for photography developed as a child in Cleveland, Ohio exploring my father’s dark room and paging through his photography magazines. Cameras and photography have always been special to me. Their ability to tell a story and to stop time is magical. With my cameras, I strive to capture the unique beauty, character and personality of each of my subjects.
Whether shooting in the studio or on location, I enjoy working collaboratively with each client to understand their vision and needs and bring them to life in a way that reflects their individuality. Everyone has their own voice and my goal is to showcase this through the lens.
During the course of my journey in photography, I’ve written for a few sites. The following are links that share my humble thoughts on the history, the philosophy and the methodology of photography
