I began my photography journey in 2010 in a helicopter flying over Iraq in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom. I wasn't a photographer, but simply a passenger. I had a simple Panasonic point and shoot camera. A fellow soldier was sitting with his feet hanging over the edge of the door. I thought it looked so cool that I had to snap a photo. When I got back to base and loaded the photo, I fell in love. After I got back home to Augusta, I bought a Canon t2i and began devoting myself to learning all I could to get a "good" shot. I've traveled all over the east coast shooting landscapes, cityscapes, abstract items, and models.
12 years later and I shoot with a Canon EOS R5 and have fallen in love with moody modeling portraiture that elicits a response from those who see the final images. I yearn to make artwork that will make you feel empowered, and I want to leave ordinary at the door.
In 2020 I decided to go back to college, and in 2022 I received my associates degree in photography.
In 2024 I have now opened my own portrait studio in Evans, GA and am extremely excited to continue this journey!
Just as Prometheus was rebellious when he brought man fire, let us be rebelliously creative and innovative in the art we bring to life.
