About:

I grew up under Arizona's sun and pursued a career as a photojournalist, learning not only from the most talented photographers across the country but, more importantly, from the people I had the privilege to photograph.

My background has provided opportunities for me to connect and tell stories that impact the community around us. In Arizona, I was part of the Washington Post's 2022 Pulitzer Prize-winning team for Public Service, recognized for my contributions to coverage surrounding the election recount.

My experience includes working as a photographer and videographer for various newspapers and international wire services, such as The Washington Post, The New York Times, Getty, AFP, WSJ, USA Today, PBS, the Chicago Tribune, and others. I served as the Director of Still Photography at Manley Creative, where I oversaw extensive creative and marketing photography campaigns for Fortune 100 companies on a global scale.

Today, I take my experience in journalism and the agency world to every set and assignment, but mostly, I just want to have fun on set and work with talented people. I have a stylized journalistic approach to commercial work and add high end lighting to the editorial work.

I would be honored to work together telling stories that are important to you!
