Bio
I am a Seattle area photographer with over 30 years professional experience in the visual arts.
As a portrait photographer, I tap into decades of experience working with people, both as a still photographer and as a documentary filmmaker. I strive to bring out the inner personality of my subjects, and tell a story with their photos. I focus on studio work, but will occasionally work on location as well. My studio is conveniently located in Pioneer Square.
My abstract work focuses on what the Japanese culture refers to as Wabi Sabi. This is defined as the acceptance of transience and imperfection. The aesthetic is sometimes described as one of beauty that is imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete.
Please inquire for more information.
I attended the University of California at Davis, and received a Bachelor's degree in biology with a minor in art. My career in photography began with commercial work including regional and national advertising campaigns, in Los Angeles in the mid-1980s. As a commercial photographer, my clients ranged from small business to international corporations, and my work has been featured in national publications and media. My passion for camera imagery extends beyond the still, as I am also an accomplished cinematographer and award-winning documentary film director.
