I have been shooting photos since 1996. My main focus at the beginning of my photographic journey was the underground Christian punk and hardcore scenes of Southern California. Since then, I have shot 100's of bands of all genres and levels. Photographing music is a passion of mine. I love being able to capture the raw energy of a live concert in a single frame. One shot to tell the story of that band, at that concert. I am able to use that skill in my fashion photography as well. Being able to capture that moment that sells the outfit, the lifestyle or the image. I pride myself on being a low key photographer that captures the moments without always interfering with the moments. I like working organically with my subjects/team and let shoots develop as we go, while maintaining the main objective. I am currently the Senior Photographer for Hot Topic. I shoot ecommerce product imagery, National campaigns and help run the photo studios.
