Hello there! And welcome to my website.

My homepage features an overview of

my commercial and editorial photography

portfolio. The images shown here help to 

comprise the five complete galleries listed

above, and include environmental portraits,

 food photography, professional headshots,

moments of life, and commerce, the latter

of which includes industrial, healthcare,

corporate, and manufacturing photography.

These are the genres of commercial and

editorial photography that float my boat as

a working professional photographer.

 

That being said, like most commercial

photographers out there, I do sometimes

shoot other subject matter. So if telling

the story of your brand or life also requires

a product shot or landscape or business

event or architectural image, I am only too

happy to accommodate your needs.

 

Usually I end up shooting real people on

assignments, as opposed to models.

I'm not opposed to shooting the latter, but

I really do enjoy making nonprofessional

talent look their best. And as an avid cook,

I have no interest in shooting artificial

or fake food that cannot really be eaten.

 

One thing's for sure though. I do not, have

 not, and never want to shoot a wedding.

I'm way too much of a control freak for that,

but my hat's off to those who do it well.

Likewise with engagements, newborns,

senior portraits, and family portraits. Again,

I admire all the photographers out there

who are good at these things, but

the honest truth of the matter is: I'm not.

 

And while we're on a slightly-negative note,

I also do not shoot video. My apologies.

Yes, I know it limits me, but I still prefer the

challenge of telling a story with a single,

dramatic and compelling image. And, to be

 honest once again, I am still working on

being the best still photographer I can be.

(And loving every minute of it!)

 

My small home studio serves me well

for professional headshots, product pics,

and food photography. Regarding food

photography, my fully-equipped kitchen

and combined studio space is big enough

for most food photography assignments.

I also have a ton of food photography

props, backdrops, surfaces, and cooking

 utensils that can be pressed into service.

 

However, since I both specialize and 

enjoy solving location lighting problems,

the majority of my assignments are

those shot on location. Nonetheless, you

can still count on me to show up with

half a ton of studio lighting and grip gear

to help me get that perfect shot. Yes, I 

admit it. I sometimes have GAS. (What we

photogs call Gear Acquisition Syndrome.)

 

I hope you like what you see here,

and that someday soon I may be of service

 to you by telling your story, furthering

 your cause, or increasing your bottom line.

 Thanks for dropping by. And all the best.
