User Bio

I am a photographer and I love what I do! Since my early teens growing up in New York City I have been capturing images. Chasing light, people and always looking for that elusive moment that defines a great image. Along the way I have formed some great friendships, witnessed incredible natural and man made beauty and kept my clients happy and satisfied with the imagery I have provided for them.

In 1989 I received my BFA in Photography from Purchase College in Purchase NY. Inspired by numerous artists in my field I had the opportunity to work with many of them early on in my freelance career and receive critical and poiniant guidance that has helped me get to where I am today as a photographer.

Travel has always been a part of the job and I have taken assignments in North America, Central America and Europe. Skilled at working in a variety of challenging conditions, both indoors and outdoors I have been chased by Killer Bees in the jungles of Belize, tossed around during a storm in the North Sea and have battled 75 mph winds and blowing snow on the slopes of Mount Washington. Under pressure, whether it is from the skies of Mother Nature or the vortex of evaporating time in a boardroom, I consistently emerge from the shoot with strong images that are powerful, and unique.

My images have appeared in publications such as The New York Times, PC World, Healthleaders, The New York Daily News, The New York Post, The Washington Post, Bangor Daily News, Direct, Downeast, AMC Outdoors, Backpacker, Doctor Patient, Boston Common, Linqua Franca, Rock and Ice, Maine Boats, Homes and Harbors, Wooden Boat, Northeast Boating, Port City Life, The Maine Switch, Natural New England, Videography, Location Update, Vermont Sports Today and also in numerous books, corporate brochures, catalogs and on the web.
