A creative director with a camera.

After more than 20 years working as an advertising writer and creative director, creating award-winning TV commercials for some of the world’s biggest brands at some of the biggest agencies, I returned to a lifelong passion: photography.

I opened my studio in 2016 and have since photographed executives, entrepreneurs, TV personalities, professional athletes, influencers and creative teams, while helping companies and brands bring their stories to life through photography that builds authority, trust and presence.

Today, I bring both sides of that experience to every shoot: the eye of a photographer and the thinking of a creative director. I understand the bigger picture, what the brand is trying to say, who it needs to reach and what the images ultimately need to do.

Whether it’s one executive portrait, a company-wide headshot program or a complete library of photography for a new website or campaign, I approach it the same way: understand the idea, bring out the best in the people in front of my camera, and create images with a purpose.
