St. Louis Reizen Fotografen

I have been interested in cameras for as long as I can remember. In 2010, i finally afforded myself a professional camera, computer, and editing software and have been at it ever since. It is my absolute passion (other than being a single dad to an amazing daughter) ad I often times don't feel like I'm "working" when I'm creating and collaborating. The creative process is an essential part of my my life and I do what I can to ensure I'm doing it in some form every day.

I studied photography in college and I interned with a local freelance editorial and commercial photographer in St. Louis. Through working with this photographer I learned how to work with people and light for people and products. After college I worked and still work sometimes with a few commercial and advertising photographers as a digital tech and assistant. Also at the same time I started working for the local alt-weekly newspaper. Shooting assignments and learning from experienced photographers I have been able to really hone my skills as a photographer and as a person too.
