I’m a New York based photographer whose work is rooted in sensory experience, images crafted not just for the eyes, but for the instincts, memories, and emotions they evoke.

From the streets of New York to stages and locations across the globe, I capture moments that feel alive: moments rich in atmosphere, texture, and presence. My photography has been published in major outlets—including Rolling Stone, Forbes, VH1, Entertainment Weekly, The New York Times, Live for Live Music, Remix and The Associated Press bringing my distinct voice to audiences far and wide.

My film work is rooted in long-standing collaboration, particularly with filmmaker Larry Fessenden—capturing stills that preserve narrative tension, mood, and the emotional weight of the story.

My images have also been exhibited in respected venues such as the Museum of the City of New York and the Powerhouse Gallery in DUMBO, alongside multiple galleries throughout New York City and Woodstock New York.

Today, I focus on music and film stills photography, collaborating with artists and creators to tell stories that resonate on multiple sensory levels. Every photograph is an invitation to slow down, to feel the space between light and shadow, to linger in the tension and truth of the moment.

Whether you’re here to explore my work, commission a project, or share a creative vision, you’re invited to see photography as more than imagery as experience.
