About Me: Storytelling is my passion and I bring this enthusiasm to every facet of my client work. Throughout my life, I have consistently sought to explore innovative ways of telling the human story by merging traditional analog photography with digital audio/visual and print techniques to share magical stories unparalleled by others. My relationship with photography began as a teenager, when my dad, a professional photographer for many years, taught me camera and darkroom techniques. With IBM, I began experimenting with and developing techniques in digital storytelling, leading several large multimedia projects for the 1994 Lillehammer and 1996 Atlanta Olympic Games, Disney’s Epcot Center, the World Golf Hall of Fame, the Masters Golf Tournament and the State Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg as well as many others. More recently, I worked on digital media projects for the British Broadcasting Company, National Public Radio and AT&T, and was awarded 5 patents for my work. In 2014, I opened my professional photography studio and left the corporate world not long after, to concentrate solely making images for clients. I specialize in "artisan" analog portraiture using large format film and wet plate collodion.
