“Not to be cliché when I say this (of course, even by saying this I am being cliché) but when it comes to photography it is so much more to me than taking photos. I knew it at the very moment I dropped out of the Art Institute of Seattle to pursue an entrepreneurial career as a photographer. Having started shooting professionally in March of 2010, I am still comparatively new to the industry but I’ve quickly learned that experience — not time — is the best teacher.
But “experience” involves much more than getting to know my tools. Though it may be essential to have a natural eye and an adept understanding of light and camera, I believe one must also have a passion for people. Treating a client as a friend, not a business. And that is what I do best.
My goal isn’t to gain fame or public recognition. Lasting joy is found in investing all of my time and energy into an idea or vision to get the job done.
Ideas require venture in order to be brought into existence, and a camera is merely the first step in bringing an idea to life.”
