About Me

How we decide to see this world is an individual choice. My perspectives and opinions shape my state of being, my relationships and ultimately my reasons for existing. My views of this world can therefore become my gift to it or my burden upon it.

When I go out with my camera, I tend to seek out the beauty, essence and meaning in things where otherwise I’d been unaware. I find that I’m more captivated and connected with the world around me when my camera is in hand.

For me, photography cultivates a state of being where freedom and connection dominate constraint and isolation. It’s from this state that I’m in the presence of something that is greater and more potent than myself. Within that, I find myself compelled to view the world in ways that gift it, rather than burden it.

This is why I photograph.

An Impromptu Tennis Shoot at Midnight

08.11.10 Posted in: Personal

Last week, my best friend drove up from Los Angeles to shoot a wedding film with me, as well as film my new promo video. We laughed a lot, caught up, and worked our butts off. For fun we decided to head out one night to shoot Georgy doing one of his passions, tennis. He’s an amazing tennis player, so I thought it would be cool to capture him doing what he loves. Here are a few from our late night session. BTW, Georgy’s film Weeding Out, won the Director’s Choice award last week at the Sacramento Film Festival. I’m very proud of him for winning this award and for the tremendous effort he put into making this feature length film. I’m so thankful to have an award winning filmmaker on my team!
