The Eye Behind the Lens
I picked up a camera because I was tired of going broke. As a working actor in Los Angeles, updating your headshots regularly isn't optional — but it is expensive. So I learned to do it myself. What I didn't expect was to fall in love with the other side of the lens.
Years of training as a SAG-AFTRA actor taught me something most photographers never learn: the camera reads thoughts. Not poses, not expressions — thoughts. When someone is genuinely thinking about something joyful, you can see it. When they're performing, you can see that too. My job is to know the difference and to pull the real version out of every person who sits in front of me.
My Story
I've been on both sides of the camera, and that changes everything about how I work. I know what it feels like to be directed by someone who doesn't see you. I also know what it feels like when someone does.
​
Every session starts before the shutter clicks. I want to know who you are, not just what you look like. By the time we're shooting, the apprehension has melted away and what's left is you — the version of you that's been there all along, just waiting for someone to capture it.
​
I don't have an ideal client. I have an ideal standard. I work with professionals who take their image seriously — entrepreneurs, executives, creatives, performers — people building something worth seeing. But I've never believed in narrowing my world to one type of person.
