I am a photographer currently based in Great Bridge, Virginia. I have shot with nearly every major film camera format from 8×10″ down to 35mm film cameras while also using digital camera gear. Presently, I make the majority of my photographs with Nikon DSLR & mirrorless camera bodies (The D850, Z7, and D610) and Nikkor lenses. My lens stable includes the Nikkor 14-24mm f/2.8, Nikkor 14-30mm f/4, Nikkor 24-70mm f/2.8, and Nikkor 200-500mm f/5.6 VR while also utilizing a 6×17 film panoramic camera outfitted with the highest quality Nikon large format lenses for specific specialized purposes and a DJI Mavic Air 2. My primary focus is on landscape and nature photography, with a distinct love for waterfalls and time-lapse photography. I am a brand ambassador for Timelapse+, MIOPS, and PolarPro, utilizing an array of their products including, but not limited to, the Timelapse+ VIEW, MIOPS Smart+, RemotePlus, Capsule360, and PolarPro’s Summit Landscape System, QuickDraw System, and other Quartzline filters in my work. I am also an active professional member of the Professional Photographers of America (#8559388).
I have been published in Professional Photographer Magazine, View Camera Magazine, DC Style Magazine, Contrastly, SLR Lounge, Panorama – The Journal of the International Association of Panoramic Photographers, The PDGA’s Disc Golfer Magazine, and Late Model Racer Magazine. I was previously a member of the board of directors for the International Association of Panoramic Photographers, was a featured photographer of the digital camera white balance control tool ExpoDisc, have had my work displayed and sold in multiple galleries around the United States, and have pieces hanging on walls of my collectors around the world. I look forward to sharing my creations with the world and adding to this list.
