A Bit About Me
My passion for photography began with my love of cars—capturing shots of my own build and the moments I shared with my car team. What started as a hobby quickly expanded into landscapes, portraits, and street photography. Along the way, I honed my skills, learned to think creatively, and discovered how to capture perspectives that most people overlook.
In 2020, I officially launched my photography business with one goal in mind: to deliver not only stunning images, but also a memorable experience. I believe that when people feel comfortable and happy, the most authentic moments come naturally—and that’s when the magic happens. My clients know I’ll go to any length to get the perfect shot, and that dedication is why they come back time and time again.
If you’re looking for someone to capture your story in a way that’s bold, creative, and full of life, I’d love to work with you. Let’s make something unforgettable.
Work Experience
Since beginning my professional photography career in 2020, I have built extensive experience working with a diverse range of clients, organizations, and creative projects. My portfolio includes event photography, lifestyle photography, automotive photography, maternity sessions, studio photography, and on-location shoots.
I have photographed a wide variety of events and productions, ranging from private birthday celebrations to film festivals, corporate events, and large-scale social gatherings. My professional experience includes working with organizations such as the Chelsea Film Festival and Delta Air Lines, among others.
For five years, I served as Chief Photographer for Front Society Events, one of New York City’s leading hospitality and events groups. In this role, I was responsible for capturing high-quality photography and videography for a wide range of events and experiences, including red carpet events, brand activations, nightlife, corporate functions, and charity galas. This position required me to work in fast-paced, high-profile environments while consistently delivering professional imagery that reflected the quality and atmosphere of each event.
In addition to still photography, my experience extends to visual content production, including short films, social media reels, promotional content, skits, and other creative productions. I am experienced in adapting my photography and visual storytelling approach to meet the unique needs of each client and project.
My international photography experience includes assignments in the Dominican Republic, Japan, Thailand, South Korea, and Amsterdam, providing me with the opportunity to work across diverse environments, cultures, and creative settings.
Overall, my professional background has allowed me to develop strong skills in visual storytelling, client relations, event coverage, creative direction, and producing polished, professional imagery across a wide range of industries and settings.
