Event photography, elevated.
Performance isn’t simply your craft. It’s your heart. On display. For everyone to see. Y’all deserve more than mere coverage. Y’all deserve verve. With attention given to story and mood, I aim to make sure that happens for you.
Rates and Availability
Based in Bellingham, WA and available in the Pacific Northwest, I photograph the offbeat: concerts, spectacle, other non-normative performance, and alternative events. My rates begin at $500 for 2 hours of documentary-style photography. Please, reach out. I’d welcome an opportunity to create together.

My approach
I’m a story-driven photographer who’s certainly enthralled with spectacle: artists engaged in their craft, spectators fully immersed in revelry, the synergy created between the two. But I’m most inspired by its gestalt. The person behind the performer. Their how. Their why. Their transformation from person to persona. The community of people who make performance possible. How everything comes remarkably together — all in the name of art. I work as a photojournalist would. Embedded. Behind the scenes. Close to, and respectfully with, people. All in pursuit of a fuller, more human centered, visual story.

If you prioritize story over coverage, I’d love to chat.
My vibe
I’ve been told that I’m a quiet, calm presence who smiles more than I talk. And it’s true. I’m an autistic ADHD’r with expressive language challenges that sometimes show up as long pauses while talking. And when it comes to speaking while photographing? Let’s just say I’m a classic “can’t walk and chew gum at the same time” kinda guy. But I feel that this particular characteristic is an advantage as it reduces my influence in an environment; thereby, placing your production right where it needs to be: at the center of the story.
