My photography journey began in June 1990 when I was hired as an Assistant Photographer at a global branding agency. I spent the early years immersed in studio work—learning the nuances of lighting, composition, and visual storytelling on a professional level. By 2005, I was promoted to Senior Photographer and Multimedia Specialist, leading high-profile shoots that blended still photography with emerging digital media and motion assets.
For nearly 30 years, I was the steady hand behind countless product launches, packaging campaigns, and branded content for household names—many of which you’ve likely seen on shelves or in stores without ever knowing it. From food and beverage to healthcare and CPG, my work helped bring bold ideas to life with precision and artistry.
In April 2020, the pandemic forced a hard pivot—and opened a new chapter. I stepped into freelance photography full time and built my own studio space, bringing decades of experience and a relentless work ethic into each project I now lead independently. Whether I’m crafting detailed still-life compositions, photographing medical devices, or capturing the perfect bourbon pour in a vintage-inspired setup, I approach every assignment with a creative eye and a love for the craft.
My roles over the years have included Assistant Photographer, Photographer, Digital Photographer, IT Assistant, Senior Photographer / Multimedia Specialist, and Freelance Photographer.
These days, I enjoy working with a mix of agencies, local businesses, and entrepreneurs—people who value experience, flexibility, and thoughtful visual storytelling. I’m always open to new projects and collaborations.
