About

I specialize in individual fine art portraiture, as well as commercial and fashion photography. I blend an artful eye for composition and lighting with technical skills gained from 25 years of experience.

“Photography has been a lifelong passion for me. I have always recognized the powerful emotional connections between people and photographs – photographs of themselves, of loved ones, of lives past and present. We all hold images as sacred representations of our memories. I have learned that the photographer has great responsibilities to those he or she photographs. I specialize in giving individualized care and treatment to a subject. I spend the extra time you need to be comfortable in front of a camera. Each shoot is especially customized for you. I believe I bring unique abilities to all genres of photography.”

“A ‘shooter’ aims and clicks, a ‘photographer’ sees the light and focuses, an ‘artist’ sees the light within the subject.” Jim Zink

I have been living and working in Utah for the past seven years, after spending most of my life in the San Diego area. My two grown children live in Southern California. I enjoy horseback riding and compete in Western competitive equine events. My wife Souzzann is a teacher and besides my horse, Patrick, I have a wonderful Welsh Corgi, Morgan.
