About Me

I live in Brooklyn, NY – one of the best places on the planet to strive for a creative and beautiful life. My influences are Diane Arbus, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Mary Ellen Mark, Annie Leibowitz, Edward Weston, Ansel Adams and Berenice Abbott, to name a few.

For me, it’s not about having the best toys. It’s about the power of the eye and the hand and the magic of instinct and composition – striving for accessibility while craving aesthetics. My subjects are wide-ranging – faces on the street or in a diner, creatures who refuse to stay still, objects bathed in the light of the sun and the moment. I'll continue to travel this planet and keep a cinematic eye out for the good, the bad and the ugly…and turn it all into something beautiful.
