I have studied with some of the best photographers and university photo educators in the world, and worked with key decision-makers in Fortune 500 corporations. Therefore, I am blend of artist, technician, and visual marketing consultant. I have a head for logistical planning, great endurance (I was a long-distance runner & still stay in shape), and training as a fine artist. When you need great visual content, I am your "go-to" person. Whether you have a refined residential design with marble floors, or a muddy heavy industrial construction site where I need to operate my own Genie-lift (I am a trained operator), I am there for you, up before the sun, and full of enthusiasm! I get the job done, treat your owners courteously, presenting appropriately to everyone from the CEO to the laborer -- and always doing something extra. My days are long and I love being on site photographing. My goal is to produce the finest images that the project has to offer, so that your work can succeed smoothly.
