Experience Matters

Over the years, I've captured moments that tell stories of everyday life, culture, and the human spirit in New Jersey and beyond.

I'm passionate about recognizing people's authentic selves and telling their story through the lens. When I shoot events, I prefer to focus on uncovering the personalities of the people I see who I find interesting.
My work is typically for events and gatherings, which I shoot more like street photography or street portraiture.
I am also a gallery artist and exhibit my work at various galleries, venues and as part of larger art events, such as Newark Arts Festival.
