I have two philosophies: The first is "do it once; do it right." This is critical to capturing those rare moments that best tell a story and seldom happen twice. My second philosophy is that each subject, each setting, each event is unique—and each deserves personal attention.

I have studied, and been inspired by, three world-renowned photographers: George Hurrel, whose dramatic use of light defined the image of Hollywood's glamorous golden age; Arnold Newman, who pioneered "environmental portraiture" and made pop icons of his subjects; and Robert Capa, the "great theme" photographer and a very "cool customer."

In my own work, I strive to blend the best of these traditional styles with state-of-the-art imaging technologies and apply my work philosophies to create photos that not only look good, but feel good, to you.
