Profile
Who is me? hahahaha, well I’m definitely not a copywriter, as you could probably tell. I’m a simple man without a plan, armed with a camera. I just called myself a man – funny - I often think of myself as a naive child wandering around the delightfully amazing world for the first time. So why the love of photography? As a boy I couldn’t get enough of large picture books. As a teen I couldn’t stop playing with my grandmother’s SLR; it’s just something I enjoy. Amazing glimpses of life are always waiting to be captured with just a simple click.

The thing we have to control is the momentary conflict of vanity that presses us to lie to the world. In order to get true representations in photo form, the subject matter needs to breathe - to be free and to let the bad be compressed while the good plays out. Magic happens when all of these things align: the perfect photo.

The magic is in the moment – and that moment might be blurry, eyes may be closed or snot could make a small cameo, but that’s real. That is life. And life shouldn’t be hidden.

What is my photography about? It’s about captured moments that are simultaneously real, truthful and engaging. Sometimes funny, sometimes introspective but with zeal and completely free in its ability to convey honesty of life. Magic.

Projects
I enjoy all creative projects. I’m always looking to keep my ventures unhindered, fun and fresh. Being able to capture what is real and being able to share it with the world is my true passion.

What better way to that, than to make a book? To have the goal of capturing every detail of life and letting it tell the story. Storytelling through the eye is something profound and it’s what I love to do. I want to create something that people treasure and immediately want to share with friends.

I’ll take photos of anything. I find it fun and thought provoking - if this is happening now, what will happen next? I’m not limited to the following list but it may spark an idea, or two, for you.
