That’s Me.

I hate writing bios…

But it’s a necessary evil. I’m a photographer, filmmaker, content creator, creative, music photographer, all of the above from Chicago. I’ve worked with agencies, brands, and bands around the country and the world. I’ve toured with Jonas Brothers and worked with many Fortune 500 brands. I’ve created content in nearly 20 countries, and almost every state in the US. My photos have been viewed millions of times and shared by some of the biggest artists in the world.

I’m driven by story, and capturing real moments. Whether they’re on stage or on set. It’s about conveying a genuine moment and connecting with the viewer. And I can do that better than anyone else out there. And for your project, it’s also about peace of mind. The reason you hire me for your project is because you know I’ve dealt with issues in the past and can deal with them when they come up on your project. I’m sure there’s creative’s cheaper than I am, but they don’t have nearly two decades of experience. They don’t have the backups of the backups of the backups in case something fails. When you hire me, you know you will get the best imagery and the best experience.
