About Me

I'm a photographer. And as such I have photographed everything from Models on the runway at New York Fashion Week, to a Luftwaffe Pilot, to scrambled eggs and coffee

I made myself noticed at New York Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2008. Photographing from the media risers during the Venexiana and Akiko Ogawa shows, and backstage & in the lobby for some much more candid photographs.After going back to NYFW to watch The Venexiana Show in February, and after paying off a D-SLR that one can shoot fashion shows with. We'll all have to see where I go from there.

My Interests

Mainly photography. And my job takes me all over the place.

There's also mountain biking, boxing, hiking, "punching holes in paper" aka target shooting, video games, movies, reading, listening to music, going to concerts -photographing or not varies, enjoying life.

I'd like to meet:

Behati Prinsloo, Karl Lagerfeld, Gisele Bundchen, Heidi Klum, Adriana Lima, Anna Wintour, Janice Dickinson, Kate Heffernan, Peter Hamm, Tyra Banks, Caroline Trentini, Cintia Dicker, Karolina Kurkova, Petra Nemcova, Gemma Ward, and Stam.
