Firstly, a warm welcome to my website and thanks for stopping by.

I’ve had a 25 year career as an advertising photographer with studios in New York City, San Francisco, and Seattle. I worked with nationally recognized companies focusing on food as a specialty. I also lived in Milan, Italy to learn more about glamour photography in the early days of my fashion work in San Francisco.

Currently I’m based half the year in the Pacific Northwest and half in Southern California. I’m now adapting a new focus which feels more artful. I’m influenced by a range of unpredictable subjects from my location: light, colors, textures, and the natural architecture of the land. The biggest pleasure is taking a subject and bringing it to life.

I’m grateful to be able to play in an art form and continue my commercial activities.

Thank you for visiting.
