I’m a Denver-based photographer and Pulitzer finalist whose work has been exhibited in galleries and museums throughout the U.S. I specialize in intimate portraits and documentary coverage. When telling stories, it’s not enough to convey information; people have to care about what they see. So I try to forge a relationship between the subject and the viewer then get out of the way. I also try not to take pictures I brought with me in my head. I do my homework, solve problems, meet deadlines, and know the person in front of my camera is far more important than the person behind it.

I am a filmaker, a photographer, writer, designer, and digital media educator. As a freelancer, I’ve produced video content and photographed for advertising, editorial, and documentary projects and I’ve edited, written and designed for fine art photography books, blogs, and magazines. At the core, I am an explorer. I love to be going somewhere. And that includes while I’m creating work. Whether it’s carrying gear for weeks across the desert, or filming from a rope 1000 feet off the ground, snowshoeing in or snowboarding out, it’s the love of my work and these adventures that keeps me doing this. I love it when the job offers far flung adventure and I’m quick to pick up a challenge. Adaptable skills and a sense of the authentic image have been the core of imagery and I feel my ability to learn and adapt quickly is one of my greatest assets.
I wasn’t allowed to watch much TV growing up – only one hour per week – my choice was (of course) MacGuyver. To fill the other idle indoor childhood hours I was surrounded, floor to ceiling, by National Geographic magazines. Harvested from local thrift stores they dated back decades. I would spread them out and float for hours on a sea of chrome. It is in that spirit which you find me now.
I take authentic, moment-based images for brands and publications. My work has varied in scope and subject matter, but certain things remain consistent: an emphasis on curiosity, human connection, and immersive experiences. I love exploring new places, meeting new people, and learning about cultures and communities outside of my own. Ask me to travel and I will say yes.
