The power of product photography & video.

I am passionate about making products look stunning through enhanced branding photography and video. Today's customers are savvy when it comes to digital content, so businesses need to put as much care into their product images as the curation of their products. The photos and videos I create will make your product look beautiful and will highlight its potential to customers in the modern world.

Video Production

An actor who gets behind the camera can tell a powerful story.

I was an actor and improviser in Chicago for a decade before I realized how effective I could be behind the camera. In 2011, I was given the opportunity to produce all video content for the Chicago startup Marbles: The Brain Store, a retail company focused on a tactile approach to brain health. In six years, I generated 79 million views for their YouTube channel: 15 million for their how-to videos and 64 million for two viral videos. From there, I moved into a producer role for a production company and created 80 personalized brand video for Sotheby’s real estate agents. The videos were to quickly help clients establish a personal connection and trust in an agent. Please view a gallery of those personal brand videos here.

Headshot and portrait photography starts here.

Having a beautiful and professional headshot is the simplest and most effective way to set a great first impression online. This is true for individuals and entire teams.

Your competency, trustworthiness, and personality are all assessed in an instant when someone views your photo during a job search, email interaction, or on LinkedIn. I want to help you stand out and craft the best image possible.

Food & Dining

Capturing high-end taste in food photography.

The best compliment I have ever received about my food photography was that "The food in that photo looked so good I almost licked my phone!" This statement sums up my aim with food and dining photography, and my approach gets results. I have heard over and over from clients that community members became patrons because of my images on their websites and social media.

Sports & Outdoor Photography

My artistic approach to action photography pursues awe-inspiring photos for snowboarding companies, bike manufacturers, or anyone with an active lifestyle.

Analog Photography

Analog Photography

As a digital photographer, moving into 35mm film has been one of the most rewarding artistic experiences. It has forced me to slow down and concentrate on the image’s background, composition, angle, and purpose. 35mm has provided a new depth of understanding across my craft.

I do all the chemical development, scanning, and post-processing myself, making my analog photos truly hand-crafted.
