I have had the good fortune to meet and photograph some of the worlds most interesting people in politics, business, entertainment and the arts, as well as ordinary folks with extraordinary stories. Every encounter is an opportunity to reveal something special, a heartfelt expression, a telling gesture, or that single frame that speaks a thousand words. Each face has it’s own unique beauty, and I take delight in discovering and revealing it. When telling a story I can stand back and be an unobtrusive observer, anticipating and capturing decisive moments, or collude with the subjects to create images that look spontaneous and authentic. Through careful attention to detail, and a mastery of light, I am there to deliver what’s important to you with elegance and visual coherence.
