Red neon motel signs and looping trails of red, white, green and blue light, mirrored into a symmetrical figure

Light is often the subject of my work, and always the medium: from light drawn across the Vegas Strip and mirrored out of the neon of the Haight to a Gothic cathedral transformed by it. Subject or medium, my work with light can be viewed in the featured collections below. Scroll further to see the photographs sorted by specialty, beyond their designated collections.

A site built so friends and family can follow both my progress in the art form and the adventures I use photography as an excuse to embark upon, my hope is that it one day functions as a vehicle to self-employment. For prints, event coverage or to book a shoot, message me through the chat box found at the bottom of this page.

About

I make photographs of people, places and animals, and in my own work I paint with light itself.

About this site

This site was built with Claude, an AI assistant, which helped with the code, layout and some of the text. Much like my life, this site is a constant work in progress. Composed by Claude, the background is built entirely of images I captured.
