Qu'est-ce que vous aimez dans votre métier ?

I love how photography exposes me to a wide range of people who I'd probably never meet if I was doing something else. Having a camera in my hands allows me to thrive in so many different social circles and settings, from music to art and entertainment. I've been backstage at concerts and in all sorts of settings I wouldn't otherwise get into.

Quels types de séances avez-vous réalisés et comment les avez-vous rendus spéciaux ?

I have done everything involving people, including headshots for actors and business professionals, artistic portraits for musicians, lifestyle and editorial photos for clothing designers, different types of event photography, and more. People who've worked with me tell me I really capture the true essence of my subjects. I love hearing people's stories and then expressing who they are through my images.

Prix, distinctions et reconnaissances reçus

My photo of Seattle rapper DoNormaal was made into an album cover, and some of my photos of Seattle cannabis collective Women.Weed.WiFi were published in an issue of Dope Magazine.

Un fait amusant sur ce photographe

I am not formally trained in photography. I'm mostly self-taught, but I've also had a lot of mentors along the way. I have a Bachelor's Degree in Anthropology at the University of Washington, and I originally wanted to become a college professor before I got into photography.
