“I see myself first and foremost as a storyteller. The difference is - my photographs do the speaking. As a commercial photographer for over 20 years, my passion is composing photographs that speak about the subject powerfully and memorably. I am especially drawn to locations and backgrounds that complement the subject yet recede just enough to ensure the subject dominates the image.

In this age of digital media and the constant bombardment of visual clutter, it’s never been more important to craft imagery that speaks in an elegant and unique manner. Whether it’s a single image or a series, I live to create images that tell my client’s story uniquely and unforgettably.

Over my career, my love of photography has taken me throughout the globe. I’ve told the stories-through photographs and books-- of sheep farms in New Zealand, a Bourbon maker in Kentucky, the Lobstermen of Little Cranberry Island, Maine and American Craftsmen of all stripes, among others.

I live in beautiful Grapevine, Texas, along with my wife Rebecca and our two children, Noah and Annalise.

Some of my clients include: Alcon, American Airlines, Apple, Chevrolet, Danner Footwear, Harvard University, New Balance, USPS, Verizon, Walmart and many more."

"Photography is about telling a story and I've been working as a commercial photographer for over 20 years. Whether it be through one frame or a series of images, I love making photographs that speak about the subject. I'm drawn to location choices that complement a subject yet recede enough to allow the subject to dominate the image.

Since growing up in Houston, TX, in my father's printing company, I've always enjoyed the meticulous nature of my business. From operating an offset press at the age of 15, I learned the importance of quality craftsmanship that has remained an important aspect throughout my life. What I truly love about photography is both the technical and artistic sides. It's the balance of both of these that create interesting images that resonate with the viewer.

In this day of digital media and our constant bombardment by visual clutter, it is so important to make imagery that tells its story in an elegant and unique way. Whether it's a single still photograph or a series, I enjoy making images that successfully communicate my client's vision.

Over my 20 year career I’ve travelled the globe photographing so many interesting places including sheep farms in New Zealand, a book about the American Craftsman, a Bourbon maker in Kentucky, the Lobstermen of Little Cranberry Island-Maine, and many others.

Title: Welders working inside a freight train car

"This particular image was inside of a freight car being built in a small town in Texas. The freight car is actually on a rack that rolls the car as the worker's weld the inside. I started by positioning the three workers where I thought we wanted them in order to create a nice composition. Then we proceeded to light the car on the inside. We utilized two Profoto D-1 lights as well as two existing work lights that the facility uses for their workers.

Since we have a lot of experience working with welders like this, we did several things to reduce the brightness of the welding wands.  Usually, at full intensity weld settings, the welders would be completely blown out, but we have learned over the years a variety of ways to reduce this intensity and therefore reduce the contrast of the image into a manageable dynamic range. Reducing the dynamic range is imperative in order to create an image that is well balanced in exposure."
