Welcome to my photography blog—a space where light, lens, and narrative converge. As both a photographer and an educator, I approach image-making with a blend of creative intention and thoughtful analysis. This blog offers a behind-the-scenes look at the stories, settings, and techniques that shape my portraiture, fashion, and editorial work.

You’ll find in-depth reflections on key projects—including those from my Signature Series, where I explore thematic concepts through carefully crafted shoots. I share not only the final images, but also the collaborative process, lighting choices, lens selections, and creative decisions that bring each vision to life. Drawing from my background in teaching and public storytelling, I aim to make each post both visually engaging and intellectually rich.

Whether you’re a fellow photographer, a creative professional, or simply someone who appreciates intentional imagery, I invite you to explore, learn, and be inspired.

December 09, 2015  •  3 Comments

It's Not Your Ordinary Flash: What I Like About the Phottix Mitros+

June 12, 2015  •  Leave a Comment
Phottix Mitros+: Not Your Ordinary Flash For a very long time, I have had an aversion to speedlights. I certainly know how to use them, but never appreciated some of their constraints.
