My photography journey started in 2010 — not in a studio, but in a helicopter flying over Iraq during Operation Iraqi Freedom. I wasn’t a photographer back then, just a soldier with a basic Panasonic point-and-shoot. I snapped a photo of a fellow soldier sitting with his feet hanging over the edge of the open loading door. It was a spontaneous shot — one moment, one frame — but when I got back to base and saw the image, something clicked. I was hooked.
After returning home to Augusta, I picked up a Canon T2i and dove headfirst into learning everything I could about photography. I spent years exploring the East Coast, capturing landscapes, cityscapes, abstract textures, and eventually, people. Each shoot taught me something new — about light, about storytelling, about how to see the world differently.
Fifteen years later, I shoot with a Canon EOS R5 Mark II, and my passion has sharpened into a love for moody, styled portraiture — images that are bold, cinematic, and emotionally charged. I want my work to stop you in your tracks. I want it to make you feel something — powerful, empowered, maybe even a little haunted. I’m not chasing ordinary. I’m chasing unforgettable.
In 2020, I went back to college to refine my technical skills and artistic voice, and in 2022, I earned my associate degree in photography. Then in 2024, I opened my own portrait studio in Evans, GA — a space where vision meets craft, and every session is a chance to make something meaningful.
Just like Prometheus defied the gods to bring fire to humanity, I believe in creating with boldness, in pushing boundaries, and in setting our own standards. Let’s be rebellious in the art we make — and unapologetic in the stories we tell.
