BIO

Bio


Based in the New York City area, and with over 15 years of experience shooting for some of the best known publications in the US, my work has appeared in InStyle, People, Family Circle, Ladies Home Journal, Time, New York Magazine, and Country Living Magazine, to name a few. Ad assignments have included: The GAP, LensCrafters, Office Depot, Ritz-Carlton, Zyrtec & Zoloft - for Deutsch, McCann-Erickson, Tracy-Locke, and BBDO.

Recently I’ve been doing a lot of publishing work shooting for Clarkson Potter and Lark Books (now Lark Crafts). SIMPLY SUBLIME BAGS and SIMPLY SUBLIME GIFTS by DIY guru Jodi Kahn, and AWAREKNITS by well known crafting author Vickie Howell, are on bookshelves now. More books are currently in production for F+W Media, and Soho Publishing.

I am now applying the same skills honed in the commercial photography industry to my event work. The response from my new clients has been so positive and robust that I have created this new, additional website dedicated solely to the work I do at weddings, bar/bat mitzvahs, and parties of all types and sizes. In the near future I will be adding examples of my private commisions, such as family portraiture, and "a day in the life" packages where I make myself available to spend a day with you - perhaps traveling with your family to your country home or on vacation.


Before I began my photography career, I was an independent filmmaker here in NYC. This is where I cut my teeth as a visual artist and what informs my still photography work today. Since then, I have pursued my photography career with a nod toward story telling. Narratives are often a part of my pictures - an echo from my filmmaker beginnings - and are just one of the distinguishing attributes of my work. My use of light, spontaneity, and emotional connection to my subjects are also elements of my work that you'll notice. Telling your story is at the center of what I do every time I shoot.

I hope you enjoy my pictures!
