About me
I am fundamentally a visual storyteller, whether with a single image or a multi-media presentation. Photo or video.As a credentialed photo/video journalist I am capable of covering almost everything from wildfires and riots to sports to concerts to warm personal portraits to models to head shots to mini documentaries to artists to athletes to street photography to conventions and meetings to... well... most everything.
I enjoy the old-fashioned art of capturing the soul when creating portraits.
I like to incorporate principles of design and lighting into everything I do when possible.
As I photo/video/journalist I am a member of the NPPA and PPAGLA, and subscribe to their code of ethics when creating images.
I have conducted a number of personal interviews, where I performed all camera, lighting and sound, as well as conducting the interview myself. I am an excellent listener, able to draw out stories form people.
Also available as a camera operator for live events.
Can do BTS both still and video.
