I live in Madison, Wisconsin and in 1995 received my first photography purchase award from the Wisconsin Union. Two years later, I went on to earn my B.S. in Art from the UW-Madison. For the next eight years, I worked at The Onion designing print ads for the NYC and Madison markets. In 2005, I resigned to pursue photography, travel, and danger. Since then, I've become a regular contributor to Getty Images, Madison Magazine, and Isthmus newspaper.

I have had exhibitions at The Peter Jones Gallery (Chicago), Pico House Gallery (L.A.), Common Wealth Gallery (Madison), Echo Gallery (Chicago), Los Angeles Center For Digital Art, Infusion Gallery (L.A.), Kimia Lounge (Madison), among others. I've received many awards for my photo work and have art residing in the Wisconsin Union and Kinsey Institute permanent collections.

I shoot with a full-frame digital SLR camera and prefer prime lenses (fixed focal-length) to zooms. My years of experience as a graphic designer has helped me understand how to deliver strong images that art directors and photo editors demand for kick-ass layouts. I have a full-service studio in downtown Madison and I love to work! Feel free to contact me to view my print portfolio.

I am fully-insured, able to travel internationally, and specialize in the following:
• advertising, fashion, or editorial photo assignments
• model portfolio work (paid-only)
• editorial-style portraits
• collector/gallery inquiries welcome
