Photography has been part of my life since I picked up a vintage Nikon camera that once belonged to my father. What began as a fascination with capturing moments has grown into a lifelong passion for exploring the creative possibilities of photography and digital art.
My journey started on the sidelines of my children’s sporting events, where I learned to anticipate action, master camera techniques, and tell stories through images. Over time, my interests expanded far beyond sports to include landscapes, architecture, street photography, abandoned places, and abstract photography. Today, I find inspiration everywhere—from sweeping vistas to the smallest everyday details that often go unnoticed.
I especially enjoy experimenting with creative techniques that transform ordinary subjects into extraordinary works of art. Whether I'm creating oil-and-water abstracts, photographing water-drop refractions, exploring the intricate details of macro photography, or blending photography with digital art, I love pushing creative boundaries and discovering new ways to see the world.
Teaching is just as rewarding to me as creating images. As an instructor at Capital Photography Center, I've had the privilege of helping photographers of all experience levels build technical skills, gain confidence, and develop their own artistic voice. I believe the best learning happens through curiosity, experimentation, and hands-on experience, and I strive to create workshops that are both educational and inspiring.
Photography, for me, is about more than making beautiful images. It's about slowing down, noticing the extraordinary in the ordinary, and creating photographs that spark emotion, wonder, and connection. Every image tells a story, and every photographer has a unique perspective worth sharing.
Whether you're joining me for a workshop, exploring my portfolio, or simply stopping by to learn more, I hope my work inspires you to look a little closer, embrace your creativity, and discover new ways of seeing the world.
