ABOUT
I’ve spent a lifetime inside creative industries, from inside record labels and MTV to Live Nation and New York Fashion Week.
A decade ago I turned my eye toward portrait photography, earning an accreditation of Master Photographer from The Portrait Masters organization, and seeing my work published on the covers of and inside leading European fashion magazines.
Today, I’m based in Charlotte, North Carolina, and I bring all of that into every portrait commission.
My Story
I grew up in Atlanta with a camera in my hand and a darkroom in the basement I shared with my brother. Photography was never a hobby, it was simply how I saw the world. But life took me somewhere interesting first.
Over the following decades, I worked at the intersection of creativity and commerce, with record labels, with MTV, as Senior Vice President of Global Development at Live Nation, the world’s leading live entertainment company, and later as a New York-based media consultant.
I spent several seasons at New York Fashion Week, invited by fashion designers to photograph behind-the-scenes and capture “last looks” the moments before their collections met the world.
How I Work
Every session begins before you are ever in front of my camera.
It starts with a conversation, about you, how you see yourself, how you want others to see you, and what you hope to feel when you look at your portraits. I listen more than I direct. My job is not to impose a look, but to understand who you are and create the conditions where that comes through naturally and unmistakably.
The best version of you isn’t always available on demand. Neither is the best light, the perfect setting, or the precise moment when everything aligns. My job is to create those conditions, technically, creatively, and personally, so that what appears in your portraits isn't left to chance or chemistry. It's the result of a deliberate process.
I can capture you in my studio, in your home, your office, or wherever feels most authentically like your world. The setting, like everything else, is a choice we make together.
I have spent my entire adult life around creative people, musicians, designers, writers, and artists, and I have learned that the most compelling images come not from technical perfection, but from genuine human connection. That is what I bring to every portrait.
