I'm a professional photographer specializing in commercial headshots and portraits. I shoot primarily on location in the New York metro area, and from my studio in Montclair, NJ.

My journey towards becoming a photographer has been anything but typical - I didn't go to school for it, and I built a promising career doing something completely different. I grew up in England and France, before moving to the U.S. in 2001 to pursue a Computer Science degree at MIT. After college I spent 10 years living and working in California – much of it in Silicon Valley. While I found some measure of success working in technology, in 2015 I found myself looking in new directions, having achieved most of the career goals that I had set for myself.

It all started when my wife bought a new camera to take pictures for her blog, and I offered to help her take environmental portraits. Pretty quickly I became obsessed. Photography became my artistic outlet, and I got excited about the human stories that I could tell with my camera.

As a former tech entrepreneur who fell in love with photography, the next logical step was to go pro, and so I formed my new portrait and headshot business in the fall of 2019.

I've joined Model Mayhem to network with other people in the industry, and to find models who can fill gaps in my portfolio.

My studio headshot work has a simple and clean look to it - very much in the style of Peter Hurley - while my portrait work is more varied and can be almost anything. I'm an avid hiker and naturalist in my free time, and so my environmental portraits are typically set in a beautiful natural setting and shot during the golden hour.
