Here is some of my media design work. I did the photography, writing, and graphic design of each.

Here’s just a few sample of my commercial photography. The computer photo was a composite. The client couldn’t let me take the computer to my studio so I shot it in his retail store. The background is a purposely blurred image of a wall in the store. The key board and speakers were shot separately and put in the photo. I made the glow under the keyboard in Photoshop.

Here’s some shoots I did for documentaries.

This is the really boring part where I tell you my background experience. It’s a resume of sorts so if you are interested only in my architectural or Interior Design photography you cam pretty much ignore this page.

My experience goes beyond photography. I was in marketing and helped my clients with their marketing and advertising needs. I was a graphic designer, videographer, editor, and photographer. I also did some photojournalism. My commercial work has been published in magazines in six countries.

Education
Bachelor of Science in Communications. This included studies in Marketing, Commercial Printing, Broadcast production, Photography, Writing, Graphic Design, and Public Speaking.

I also studied one summer with Ruth Bernhard who showed me more about light in a few weeks than I’d learned in four years of college. She was the last of the f64 group of artists, which also included Edward Weston, Imogen Cunningham, Ansel Adams, and others. She passed away December 18, 2006 after 101 years of life. We’re a little less for her loss and a little more for her legacy.
