DRAMATIC

My dramatic looks involve bold, punchy colors, loud posing, and bright clean editing.


This style works well for someone who has a loud outfit or wants something highly stylized.

EDITORIAL

My editorial look is more subtle and has a classic, vintage look. It involves clean smooth lighting and softer poses.


This suits someone who has a more traditional outfit or wants a calmer aesthetic.

DRAMATIC BAND

I shoot most band and activities in a bold, dramatic fashion. This styles emphasizes movement, activity, and the inherent performative nature of events.


This is best suited to people who are looking for photos that can be used to market their bands, sports, or activities.

Frequently Asked Questions

You should bring an outfit that you love and makes you comfortable, but also accentuates a feature you have such as your hair, your eye color, or complexion.
