About

What began as a simple exploration into digital workshops at the New England School of Photography led to a series of intense hands-on training opportunities and mentoring with internationally recognized icons and industry leaders. Today I am incredibly fortunate to work with top leaders in business, sports, politics, and entertainment. And perhaps the best part is that I still have the same enthusiasm as I did back when I was a kid with a brand-new Nikon in my hands.

EXECUTIVE HEADSHOTS

Headshots are not only a passion but also the most requested type of photography session I'm asked to shoot. Executive portraiture is far more popular today than ever before. The past 36 months coming out of Covid have been record-shattering, each year outperforming the one before. With 16+ years in business, I've come to appreciate that there is more to a headshot than meets the eye. But if you had told me I would be shooting thousands of them every year (and loving it) I would not have believed you. A great headshot needs exceptional lighting, proper color balance, and all the various technical elements, but perhaps most importantly it needs to accurately convey your brand and who you are as a human being. That's where a photographer becomes your coach to help bring out that elusive authentic expression that you may not even know existed. And do so quickly, efficiently, and repeatedly. It's a far more complex process than people realize, but when done right, it's an experience that exceeds expectations.

ON-LOCATION HEADSHOTS

Larger organizations seek consistency, convenience, and being time-efficient with their team's busy schedules. For that reason, I also offer the flexibility to set up on-location in their office (or downtown hotel conference space, etc). I set up the same lighting equipment as I use at my studio, never sacrificing quality for convenience.
