"It’s always been about the light for me. Even as a teenager in my parents’ basement, I remember being obsessed with the lighting of my model train set; the streetlights and their placement, the light coming from the various homes, gas stations, and businesses - even the headlight on the train. It all played a part in creating the perfect scene. As an adult, I find it impossible to allow others to position the landscape lights, and almost every fixture in our home has a dimmer on it! In hindsight, a career in photography was the obvious choice. Today, as a commercial food photographer and director, I help craft the visual identity for some of the most iconic brands in the world, using my lighting skills to create an emotional connection with their audience.
When not in the studio, I’m often asked to speak at industry conferences and events. And I’m also the author of 'Food Photography, A Commercial Photographer’s Guide to Creating Irresistible Images'".
