About

I'm a New York City based photographer shooting at the crossroads of portraiture, live events, and fashion: capturing people not as they pose, but as they truly are. It started in college when I bought a point-and-shoot film camera to take pictures of my friends, and it's turned into a deep passion I pursue relentlessly. The split second where a shot transcends simply being a photo and draws you in with curiosity and awe is what I chase whenever I pick up a camera. Whether I'm shooting live music, on a fashion set, backstage before a show, or one-on-one in a quiet room, it's the same goal every time: greatness, one frame at a time.

I studied Fashion Business Management at The Fashion Institute of Technology and later earned my Master's in Fashion Brand Management at Polimoda in Florence, Italy. That training sharpened how I shape an image, and how I let a subject's authenticity come through rather than manufacturing it. Years of relentless networking and hands on industry work have put me in rooms with music managers, PR teams, and experiential production companies — and behind the camera for A-list talent including Big Sean, Nikki Glaser, and Jalen Brunson. I've collaborated with modeling agencies including Wilhelmina and NEXT Model Management, and every shoot sharpens the same instinct: find the frame and seize the moment.
