documentary and cinematic storytelling.
I’m drawn to imperfect moments,
human tension, movement, atmosphere,
and environments that feel lived in.
Much of my work is influenced by
Utah landscapes, Americana,
music culture, and emotional realism.
Before photography, I served as a
Coast Guard rescue swimmer.
That experience continues to shape
how I observe people and space.
and more interested in presence.
The strongest images usually happen
in the space between direction
and observation.
I want photographs to feel human,
immersive, and emotionally grounded —
whether documenting a quiet moment,
a live performance, or an editorial set.
My goal is always the same:
make the image feel alive.
movement, atmosphere,
and environment.
Drawn to:
desert towns,
music venues,
backstage moments,
working hands,
weather,
motion,
and imperfect people.
