As a self-taught photographer, I picked up my first film camera after being awed and inspired by the work of skateboard photographers Bryce Kanights and Spike Jonez. Having grown up in a family-owned graphic and printing shop, I've been surrounded by visual arts, and the business surrounding them, my entire life.
Connecting all aspects of my life; skateboarding, poetry, music, and photography - has led me to work as tour photographer for artists such as Anthony Ramos (Hamilton, She’s Gotta Have It) and FEVER 333. Collective co-founder of 333 Wreckords Crew (FEVER 333, Oxymorrons, Nova Twins, Gin Wigmore). In 2015, I co-founded The Photo Ladies - a worldwide women’s music photography collective alongside fellow photography Lesley Keller in New York City. Our small group of friends has grown into a collective of 150 photographers, and over 1000 community members globally.
To simply say that I am a Creative Director and Photographer does not encompass who I am as a creator. Those terms do however serve as an introduction into understanding my creative process, and how the people and teams I surround myself with are integral to my growth as an artist.
By building and cultivating a creative circle of artists and creators, my time is spent between NYC, Chicago and Los Angeles working and touring alongside those within the music, theatre and film/television industries.
Please reach out if you'd like to work together - plan a shoot on location or in the studio, for future tours, festivals and events, or for brand and lookbook sessions.
