I am Atlanta based photographer, who does my best to create imagery that provokes a sense of nostalgia for classic visual storytelling. My awareness of light and raw beauty creates a style of its own that is reticent and individual; often drawing on the memory of stillness and the romance of experience. My early personal work focused on portraiture and documentation, frequently photographing my family and friends, while also embracing an appreciation and gratitude for the outdoors. This approach has evolved into an aesthetic of authenticity; which transferred to reflect in my editorial and commercial projects.
When not taking photographs, I can be found riding dirt bikes and climbing rocks in the Southern Appalachians, spending time with my family or daydreaming about the next project.
I received a Bachelor of Fine Arts from E.G. Welch School of Art and Design at GSU in 2006, and been chasing my passion for making images ever since.
