Portrait Obsessed | NYC

I'm an international award-winning photographer with 15+ years of experience crafting compelling imagery that blends classic Rembrandt-inspired lighting with a bold, modern aesthetic. My work is driven by storytelling, mood, and meticulous attention to detail, ideal for brands and creatives seeking portraiture with impact and edge.

Beyond the studio, I co-founded The Tween Esteem Project, a nonprofit using portrait photography to empower 11–13-year-olds, because I believe in the power of the image to shape how people see themselves. (Also, proud dad of two teens—so I know how to connect quickly and authentically with all kinds of personalities.)
