About

I am presently working (and since 2019) as an event and portrait photographer for Horse & Buggy Gallery / PS118 Gallery in Durham as well as contract freelance work in the Triangle (everything from Graduations to Weddings to Boxer Rescue to Salsa Dances to Environmental Studio to classical album covers to AirB&Bs and even White Truffle Farms) – all of which gives me a great deal of flexibility and finesse, embracing the new and look upon the ordinary in a fresh way - which is truly my passion and delight.

I have a large collection of DSLRs (Nikon, Pentax, Fujifilm), 35mm (Nikon, Contaflex, Ihagee EXA, etc.) medium-format cameras (Fujicon, Pentax) as well as a substantial amount of post-processing software (Photoshop, Exposure 5, Capture One 21, Luminar Neo, Topaz Studio, Nik Collection, etc.) that permit comprehensive capability for achieving mood and spirit with my work. I edit quickly, and can turn around even large projects in 24-48 hours or less. As a former teacher, I work well with parents, grandparents, newcomers and children - even the kind that are still far from months away from speaking!

I will work with you to integrate my skills with your vision. Please feel free to contact me for any project, no matter how large or small, that you would enjoy documenting and sharing with your world.
