I’m a photographer based in Las Vegas, Nevada, and Santa Fe, New Mexico—two places that continually shape and energize my work. Each day I create, explore, and experiment, responding to the fast architectural pulse of Las Vegas and the textured, resonant rhythm of the high desert. My practice is rooted in curiosity and movement, whether I’m working with abstraction, intentional camera movement, architectural studies, or the shifting qualities of light and color that define the Southwest.
I photograph daily—on campuses, in city streets, in the desert, and anywhere I can find a sense of rhythm or visual possibility. This ongoing practice keeps my work evolving and ensures that new images and ideas are always emerging. Many of my series grow from this steady exploration, including Architecture of Beginnings in Las Vegas and Reverb with Reverie, created in Santa Fe.
I am committed to sharing this work widely. I produce books, digital publications, and limited-edition prints, and I am continually preparing new bodies of work for exhibition. I welcome opportunities to collaborate with galleries, curators, collectors, and creative partners who connect with the energy and vision of my images.
If you’re discovering my work for the first time, I’m glad you’re here. I hope you’ll explore, return often, and follow along as new pieces, projects, and ideas take shape. My goal is simple: to create work that invites viewers to pause, look closely, and feel a connection to place—whether through movement, stillness, color, or the unexpected beauty found in everyday moments.
