Photo Journey
I became interested in becoming a professional photographer soon after graduating from The School of Visual Arts in New York City where I majored in Film and also attended its Photography School. For years, I developed a diverse portfolio of projects, including photographing county fairs, parades and marches in New York City and New England. I’ve had the pleasure of working with actors, models, sports figures, and entertainers, and cast members of Saturday Night Live. I worked for several Men's publications and photographed over 250 bookcovers.
In 2004, after having way too much fun in the Big Apple, I headed west for Southern California where my passion turned to following the Car Culture, travel and food photography. I’ve photographed 8 cookbooks and in between have traveled to Ethiopia, Myanmar, India (twice), Romania and Colombia.... and all throughout Mexico.

I am forever seeking new subjects, new experiences, ways to be happy, having fun and being creative.... And speaking of being creative, there are so many beautiful flower images everywhere, but I wanted to make something different - to allow my imagination to run free. In 2022, I began designing unique arrangements on a variety of surfaces. I began collecting fresh flowers, dried flowers, pressed dried flowers - pretty much any botanicals I find in my back yard - or anyone else’s backyard - as long as I don’t get caught! I apply my skills in composition, color, light, graphic design, and then, using my creative instincts, I connect with my artistic sensibilities to produce innovative floral art.
