Working mainly as an art director and designer for commercial advertising since my early 20s, I have always been around and had my hand in professional photography. Light and how it reflects off surfaces has always fascinated me. How it can be represented or (misrepresented) by the camera lens intrigues me to this day.
Having spent over two years photographing Europe's amazing architectural wonders, I realized that I am at my best not chronicling the human condition or gathering the image of an obscure art piece but giving beautiful light that falls on and reflects off of dramatic architecture the chance to shine.
4 years ago I decided to turn my attention to Luxury Real Estate and have studied with Mike Kelly and Scott Hargis to name a few. Since then I've had the good fortune to have photographed, droned and videoed some of Orange County's premiere coastal properties. My goal is to make my client's listing look as dramatically attractive to the potential buyer as possible. I try to enhance the ambient beauty of a given property rather than distorting its flaws. I work to achieve the best results and will not hesitate to revisit an angle or different lighting scenario until I am satisfied that it's the best representation of the property's attributes.
I hope that you will give me the opportunity to do the same for you and your property.
