Architecture

Photographing architecture requires an appreciation of the artistic, a respect for the scientific, and a commitment to reflect the vision of the architect.

Quality and accuracy are non-negotiable in this genre, so I work exclusively with Nikon equipment, including the D850 and D810 F-mount DSLR bodies, paired with super fast Nikkor lenses, including Nikkor Perspective Control, Electronic aperture (PC-E) 24mm f/3.5D lens.

Events & People

Do events have personalities? Can diverse groups define a single cohesive message? Photographing this elusive spark can mean capturing the focus of a fixed gaze, or the connection of a fleeting glance.

Portraiture

When well-planned and carefully researched, a true portrait will draw out a subject’s personality, and reflected in their values. This holds true whether the subject is an individual, a couple or a family.

Headshots, on the other hand, are often designed to create a oneness, or a sense of team, such as in an annual report or on an ID badge. These two products are priced accordingly.

Photographing food can be the opposite of cooking: Slow deliberate processes to capture the essence of food that one will eat.

Products

The freestyle event for many photographers, what may feel like wide open space can be seductive. But placing creativity above the creative brief is a recipe for disaster.

My life in photography began in the 1980s, first as the photo editor of my high school yearbook, which led to a role photographing campus life for the Michigan State University annual.

Over my 30 year career, I’ve been blessed to build relationships, both with clients and other talented photographers across North America. I’ve learned to add value and increase efficiencies in every assignment, large or small.

At times I’ve had the good fortune to hire industry-leading marketing firms, as well as some renowned photographers in the US and Canada.

My practice includes an emphasis on photographing:

Architecture & design
