My career in media production began as a footage researcher for television and documentary films, providing vintage footage for shows like "The Chappelle Show" and documentaries like "Fahrenheit 9/11". This experience sparked my passion for visual storytelling and laid the foundation for my diverse career path.

From there, I transitioned into museum exhibit production, then content production for Fortune 500 companies, where I had the opportunity to produce still photography shoots with some of the world's leading photographers, refining my aesthetic and deepening my understanding of brand visual identity and storytelling. 

What sets me apart is my ability to dive into new roles without prior experience, driven by an insatiable curiosity about how things work. As a self-proclaimed gear nerd and natural sleuth, I've always been drawn to the technical aspects of my craft. My journey into still photography began when I saw an inspiring image on Flickr and I thought, "I want to do that," so I researched full frame cameras and lenses, purchased the Canon Mark 5D Mark 2, and traveled the world taking photos to build a portfolio. 

A little over 10 years later, I work as a freelance photographer specializing in workplace photography. My expertise covers a wide range of subjects, including:

• Corporate events
• Professional portraits
• Food and product photography
• Interior design

My approach combines technical skills with a keen eye for capturing the essence of your brand. Whether you're looking to document a company event, create compelling headshots for your team, showcase your products, or highlight your workspace's design, I can help bring your visual identity to life.
