Biography

When I look for images to capture, I look for Textures, Lines, Shapes and Patterns.

Photography allows you to be two places at once. Throughout my career, I have been driven to capture images with that in mind.

My biggest tip to other photographers—Look at your subject from all possible angles. My biggest tip to everyone—look at your life in the same way.
