I am a professional photographer and FAA Certified drone pilot based in Southern California. My work has been featured on National Geographic Shark Fest, Discovery Channel's Shark Week, NBC, CBS Evening News, LA Times, The Boston Globe, PBS, France 2, & a variety of other media outlets.

 

I have a passion for art. It's happening all around us all the time. My greatest joy is capturing its beauty. Whether it's documenting a shark from above with a drone or photographing a cheetah running on the African plains; I believe beauty is all around us. Photography is among the greatest creations of mankind. Photography does more than allow an artist to capture a moment in time. It allows one to capture life in its bare elements. It captures its vulnerable moments, its candid moments, its joy, pain, beauty, and perhaps the most essential element; love. This is why I picked up a camera in 2001. Since then, I've been capturing moments.

 

I approach photography with the simple concept that “life is art”. I love photography and we love life. If you feel the same way, let’s get to know each other better.
