Introduction | My passion for photography began quite some time ago. The decision to pursue photography in college came naturally to me. It first began as fine art exploration, mostly studying black and white techniques and appreciating the simple art of photography as we hand rolled and processed our own film in a small, chemically aromatic room. I was certain that photography was my destination and that I needed to go further and develop my technical skills as well. With that in mind, I enrolled in a specialized program at Brooks Institute of Photography in Santa Barbara, California, did my internship under the umbrella of Turner Broadcasting; photographing the CNN anchors, the WCW wrestlers, product shots for the Cartoon Network, and several location assignments. Since that time, I have dedicated a substantial portion of my life to photography, working and studying under some of the best photographers in the industry, and as such, have honed the skills that I possess today with the very conscious intent to provide some of the cleanest, most technically sound work possible, even while facing the most critical of deadlines. |
