I became fascinated with images around the time I was 5 year old, when I started clipping photos I liked from newspapers and magazines. At 11, I picked up my first camera. I remember the anticipation of waiting for the film to be developed at the local pharmacy, and the excitement that came with finding that one good shot in the pile of prints when they finally arrived. I had no idea then that the skill I was cultivating would eventually provide the opportunity to travel the world, meeting fascinating people and telling their stories - some powerful and vibrant, others sad and vacant. For more than 25 years, I’ve worked to capture the moments in our lives that define who we are, the places that shape us. I’ve shot everything from hard news to travel, fashion to animals literally crossing my path. There’s probably nothing that I don’t enjoy shooting. My work has covered the gritty, dark side of humanity (murder investigation, anyone?) to the bright, lively streets of a tropical paradise. In 2007, I began delving into multimedia. I’ve become adept at video, combining images, copy and music into woven stories that captivate my audience. From the everyday to the extraordinary, I believe my work exceeds expectations time and again, because I truly love what I do.
