Nature is my studio

My studio changes
with the light.

There’s no studio address. I work outside, wherever the light is doing something worth chasing, and the setting becomes part of the story.

Now and then it’s a street or a hotel room after dark. Mostly, it’s one of these.

Miami

Sunrise on the coast

Haulover Beach, Crandon Park, Virginia Key. I go for sunrise, when the light comes in low across the water. Those three stretches of coast give me a lot of different looks.

Austin

The woods and the water

Forests, wooded trails, and lakes. Different light from the coast, and the same pull toward being outside with nothing between us and the weather.

Beneath the surface

Another kind of light

Under the water, light bends and movement slows down. We plan the location and depth together, around what you’re comfortable with. It’s an exploration we figure out together.

An archive of moments people trusted me with.

Photography is how I protect moments that disappear. Every roll gets a contact sheet and a red grease pencil. Most frames don’t make it.

The Goods · Store opens soon

Some of those moments
become prints.

Signed, numbered, small-edition prints, plus apparel, physical mixed media, and the PNDAGRLS photobook. Checkout isn’t live yet. Every piece has a waitlist.

My Story

Husband. Dad. Designer.
Always making something.

There was never one moment I decided to be a photographer. I just kept finding reasons to pick up a camera. Travel, people, places, light. I loved that I could see something for a second and somehow keep it.

What kept me coming back wasn’t the photographs. It was the people. Someone lets me into their life for an afternoon, trusts me with something real, and we both walk away with proof it happened.
