I don't do quick turnaround corporate headshot mills. I work with people and brands who want something they'll still care about in 20 years.

On set · Opportunity (2024) · Boise, ID

I look for unique angles most people walk past. I like to make the frame feel layered, stacking people, objects, and depth, instead of flat.

I'm drawn to rhythm, lines, and motion at its peak: that exact split second apex before things change.

A background in painting shapes a lot of this. I'm thinking about composition before I'm thinking about gear.
