My Bio

I am a photographer, singer, writer, painter and all-round creative using the lens to show that art and beauty is absolutely everywhere if you slow down and pay attention. If my images make you feel something, then they have done their job.


What I love about photography is that you can make the most ordinary moments look extraordinary, and things you have seen a thousand times look new again. It is another set of eyes, one that sees things that in passing moments and the preoccupations of our minds we may have missed but the camera didn't.


My emphasis is on expression, mood, light, form, color, shadows, movement, and emotion. I prefer minimal post-processing to preserve the reality and timelessness of the photographic moment as-is.


Genres: Street | Documentary | Fine Art | Music | Travel | Arts & Culture | Candid Portraits | Abstract/Surreal | Architectural/Cityscapes | Nighttime | Everyday Beauty

I am embarking on an awesome project which has been in the back of my mind for quite awhile, which is to compile a book of my travels in India which will include photo essays, adventure memoirs, and narrative about the deep and universal spirituality and philosophy of the country. It is titled, "Indian Spirituality for Western Minds: A Journey of Understanding in Photographs & Words" (link below) For the project, I am raising $40,000 to live in India for 18 months, traveling all throughout, full immersion-style. Check out my page and please, if this inspires you, feel free to share & contribute to making this book a reality. <3 "I
