About

Photography changed my life forever. The day I picked up a camera I became a storyteller.

My passion for humankind drives me to shoot mostly street photography. I thrive on searching and waiting for just the right moment when a story unfolds in a single frame. I also look for the extraordinary in the ordinary. I've learned to see when I look, to find beauty everywhere.

I am proud that my work has hung in galleries in the United States and in Europe, but I feel pure joy when teaching this beautiful craft! Teaching is my opportunity to share my passion and skills with others while leading photography workshops. I also give talks and presentations at photo conferences and offer online portfolio reviews and business consultation. I also share my passion for photography by writing articles and podcasting. I host my own weekly show Street Focus.

Gear? It's just me, my creative vision and a magic box called a camera.
Living the dream...
