Cosa ami del tuo lavoro?

I am a people-first photographer. Within each person I photograph resides countless stories. Of course, I can't possibly tell all those stories, but I consider each session with someone a chapter (or perhaps, a page) in their story. They are entrusting me with certain details that I am tasked with capturing in a single image or series of images. The ability and privilege of telling a small part of someone’s story is undoubtedly a motivating factor for me but, more importantly, it is the opportunity to connect on a human level, no matter brief, with someone who was previously a total stranger.

Che tipi di servizi hai fatto e come li hai resi speciali?

I have done numerous portrait, lifestyle and environmental photo shoots that were each special in their own way. I alone don’t make them special, it is a collaborative process. I always let the people that I’m shooting with know that they are free to provide input on where we are shooting. If there is something they want to include in their shots, all they have to do is let me know. One example is a retired NBA player who has written a couple of children’s books; he asked if we could take a few shots of him with his books. I replied with an enthusiastic Yes and that really set the tone for the remainder of the shoot. No matter who it is, I try to find ways to personalize the shoot.

Un fatto divertente su questo fotografo

Photography isn’t just “work” for me, I still do it for fun and I develop color and black/white film at home.
