Photography

I enjoy all types of photography, but especially portraits. I love staging unique situations and capturing a person’s personality in that situation. For me, creating the photo shoot idea and designing and putting together wardrobe direction is just as fun as actually shooting.

As one of my professional idols, Annie Leibovitz, said,

“In a portrait, you have room to have a point of view. The image may not be literally what’s going on, but it’s representative.“

For examples of my photography, please look under the “Photography,” “Portrait,” “Photojournalism,” etc. categories on the right side of the page. Below are also some of my albums from portraits of a friend. All are unedited.
