Originally trained as a painter, he began incorporating photographic elements into his paintings until they became the dominant feature. He believes in making photographs not just taking a picture; a level of control that can more accurately render ideas and narratives. Relationships are essential. An image is not only a dialogue between itself and a viewer, but a conversation between the photographer and subject. That’s why he insists on upbeat and light-hearted shoots with great care and attention to detail. When not on assignment he can be found in his kitchen dreaming up tasty treats and cocktails for friends and family.
