Gravity..
I am always playing with it, using it, and aware of it's effect on my subject. I have been involved with it personally and the sports that depend on it. As an avid surfer, sup-er mountain biker, skateboarder, snowboarder, I control my own gravitational fall line. It's inevitably that gravity will pull me down from my endeavors at some point for good, so I try to make every moment count, and I enjoy shooting all aspects of life that depend on gravity and chance, it's why I show the natural flow of life from beginning to the end in my body of work, and why I don't like to limit myself as a photographer capturing people, places and things, all in their decisive moments, all in a single frame.
My love of both micro, and macro photography is why I like the large open environmental shots that let me breath, as well as the small micro shots that let me slow down for a close up perspective that we can easily miss.
My work has been featured in numerous advertising campaigns, magazines and catalogs all over the world, and I have done vast amounts of studio lighting, with people, and product related work in my career, all in addition to my love of location work. I bring this diverse experience to all my work, and adapt it to whatever the challenge or request may be. I was also a leader at the forefront of when fashion, sports culture, and a healthy lifestyle became the focus of a balanced-well lived life. I blend very true aspirational substance, with a touch of radical simple truth, and this edge brought to all my work is the key to images that will endure in the world of art and advertising.
Let's tell your story with vision and truth.
