    I began my formal academic photography study at NY’s Fashion Institute of Technology. While an undergrad fine arts student, I started shooting and interviewing bands as part of a music review for the school newspaper W27, work which led to editorial jobs with other publications. During this time I found work with various photography studios, which provided an opportunity to work with some of the top photographers in the world. In this period I began booking my own jobs with magazines and music labels, including Warner Bros. Records. For large parts of past two decades I traveled between NYC and Los Angles, all the while building my portfolio and expanding my conception of photographic art.Over the course of my career I’ve worked in almost every aspect of photo production, including work for A&E Networks, the BBC, various networks and affiliates, music videos and feature film work, wardrobe styling for many celebrities, TV shows, and a variety of print editorial jobs. My recent work has been featured in shows in NYC and Albany, including a recent show at Stage 1 Gallery as part of First Friday. I was just awarded a live/work studio space at the Albany Barn. I left and moved to Florida and now travel back and forth.
