My style
I create bold, dynamic portraits that are vibrant and true-to-color, with bright and lively energy.
My goal is to capture the likeness of my subject by creating detail-oriented, yet clean and simple portraiture that helps the viewer to connect with the subject.
My portraiture has a story-telling aspect, with details and locations selected to compliment and showcase the subjects' personality.
What you can expect when you work with me
- Passion: to tell stories, capture personalities, immortalize amazing moments, share beauty, and connect people
- Talent: portraiture and documentary work have been hung in galleries in Los Angeles, and my sports action work has been recognized with photojournalistic awards from the SPJ for the past 6 years
- Experience in Photography: 8 years as a Licensed and Certified Professional Photographer
- Photography Education: formally educated in photography, graduated at the top of my class in 2016
- Gear: top of the line cameras, lenses, and lighting equipment (with a complementary professional technician)
It's all in the details
Photography requires an elite level of over-thinking and future problem solving. In both Sports Action or Portraiture, being detail-oriented in all phases of the process is a must.
Important details I like to prioritize:
- Genuinely connect with my subject
- Anticipate random issues
- Prep for any possibility/scenario
- Watch for changes in weather/conditions
- Problem-solve on the fly
- Roll with the punches
- Seize surprise opportunities
- Have a blast :)
- Remove distracting elements from image (portraits only)
- Polish image to direct focus, draw viewer to subject
- Perform thorough quality control for all digital and physical final products
A strong photography education combined with hands-on experience in photography can make all the difference in avoiding costly issues and delivering the best service and final products available.
