About Me

Hi. I'm a freelance photographer in Birmingham, Alabama. I am an art major at the University of Alabama At Birmingham. I shoot freelance photography of people and live acts that travel through the south. I've done work for Equal Vision Records with bands like Fear Before The March Of Flames, Circa Survive, and Chiodos. I've also shot for Victory Records, Metalblade records, and several others. I shoot digital mostly, but i am equipped and proficient to shoot B&W or color film on request. I am for hire and answer any inquiries via myspace message, phone calls, or email and instant message. I am more than a myspace photographer and have photographs in several publications and websites in circulation. I've had photographs in Rolling Stone, ESP's 2007 Guitar Catalog, as well as Hot Topic's Substream Magazine. I work closely with other artists and am able to tackle any design job available such as t-shirt designs, cd and website design, and press kits.
I will have a website up soon where you can view several archives with tons of photos. I try to make my page as modest as possible so it doesn't take forever to load. I post a selection of photos here on the main page, but if you look through my past blogs, you can see over 30 photo-sets i've done in the past. Thanks very much for the support you give, and keep checking back for updates. I do not respond to messages about what equipment i use, or "hOw i dID dat?!". Please do not message me and ask me how Jeffree Star was in person. However,If you have any other question about my availability for hire, or you want to talk about seinfeld, LOST, niptuck, video-games, or the office, please feel free to contact me via:
