About Me
Hello, and thanks for visiting my portfolio website.
I’m a full-time freelance commercial and editorial photographer based near Ann Arbor, Michigan. I currently shoot photos for; the Ann Arbor Observer, Ross School of Business, Dykema, Butzel, Secrest Wardle, Kreis Enderle, Burris Law, Zausmer, and others. I work quickly and have a fast turnaround time for photos. I specialize in on-location attorney headshots, and event photography.
I got my start as a photographer shooting photos for the Alcona County Review, a weekly newspaper my parents owned. After graduating from Interlochen Arts Academy (played jazz drums) I then attended Western Michigan University and began freelancing for the Kalamazoo Gazette. After graduating college I began to shoot photos for others like the Detroit News and Detroit Free Press, Chicago Tribune, AP and others. I then began to add commercial clients like law firms, companies, and colleges.
My Photographic Philosophy
In contrast to photographers who try to contrive provocative images by using extreme camera angles and prefab compositions, I prefer to fuse together the natural photographic elements into an honest, yet artistic, portrait of a person or scene, capturing their or its essence in an image.
