photography services
I offer a range of photo and video services built around a cinematic, moody aesthetic—focused on capturing real emotion, energy, and atmosphere.
Photography
Portraits & Headshots
Portraits designed for artists, performers, and professionals who want something more than a standard headshot. Built to feel authentic, striking, and true to who you are.
Live Event Photography
Concerts, comedy shows, and events captured with an emphasis on energy and storytelling. Drawing from years in the hardcore and metal scene, I focus on the raw moments—the movement, the crowd, and the connection.
Promotional & Branding Photography
Custom imagery for creatives, and businesses of all types looking to build a cohesive, visually strong identity across social media, press kits, and marketing materials.
Headshots
I’m a portrait photographer specializing in capturing people with depth, edge, and authenticity. My work leans into shadow, contrast, and atmosphere—creating portraits and headshots that feel less like traditional photos and more like still frames from a story.
I’ve had the opportunity to photograph a range of standout personalities, including Adam Ray, Sam Tripoli, Eddie Bravo, Uncle Lazer, and Ahren Belisle. Working with performers and creatives has shaped my approach—I focus on pulling out real personality, not just a polished look.
Whether it’s for actors, comedians, musicians, or entrepreneurs, my goal is simple: create images that feel honest, striking, and unmistakably you.
live event photo
While I specialize in portrait work, my approach to live event photography comes from a completely different place—over 20 years immersed in the underground hardcore and metal scene.
I didn’t just pick up a camera and start shooting shows—I grew up in it. I understand the energy, the chaos, the emotion, and the connection between the crowd and the stage. That perspective shapes everything I do when I photograph live events.
Instead of treating events like something to simply document, I focus on capturing what it feels like to be there.
The tension before a set starts.
The explosion of movement when the first note hits.
The raw, unfiltered moments between performers and the crowd.
Whether it’s a concert, comedy show, or private event, I aim to bring out the same intensity and atmosphere that defines my portrait work—using light, shadow, and timing
to create images that feel alive, dramatic, and real. This isn’t just coverage. It’s storytelling through energy, emotion, and experience.
Video
From music videos, commercial projects, live event coverage, and short form media(Instagram reels/TikTok format) my video work is built around the same cinematic, moody style that defines my photography. I focus on capturing energy, atmosphere, and story—whether it’s a live performance, a brand, or a fully produced concept.
