\STORIES TOLD THROUGH PHOTOGRAPHY, FILM, MUSIC AND THE SPOKEN WORD

I am a photographer, filmmaker, songwriter and storyteller based in St. Augustine, Florida.

Throughout my career, I have used images and film to tell other people’s stories. Today, that work has expanded to include original songs, personal reflections and live storytelling—exploring the experiences that shape our lives and help us understand one another.

EVERY SUBJECT HAS A STORY

Whether I am photographing a person, capturing the personality of a beloved dog, creating an image of a remarkable automobile or sharing a story through music, my goal remains the same: to create something honest enough to make people stop, feel and remember.

STORYTELLING, SONGS AND SPEAKING

Through original songs and spoken stories, I explore life, memory, faith, doubt, aging, identity, fear and the unexpected discovery of purpose.

These stories are also becoming the foundation for live presentations combining music, photography, personal storytelling and honest conversation.

DOG AND PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHY

My studio portraiture is built around personality, relationships and emotional connection.

Whether the subject is a person or a four-legged member of the family, I create expressive photographs intended to preserve more than appearance. I want to capture something genuine about who they are.

AUTOMOBILE PHOTOGRAPHY

For five years, I operated one of the leading automobile photography studios in the Southeastern United States, creating distinctive images of classic, exotic and remarkable vehicles.

A selection of that work remains an important part of my photographic story.

A PORTRAIT WITH A PLACE IN HISTORY

In 2017, I photographed Gloria Steinem and Dorothy Pitman Hughes recreating their iconic raised-fist portrait. The photograph was later acquired by the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery.

That experience remains one of the great honors of my photographic career.
