About

I discovered my love of landscapes when I was eight, staring out the window of our new family car—a 1981 Dasher diesel wagon—while driving from Colorado Springs to Yellowstone National Park.

Photography came later.

After graduating from the University of Virginia, where I enrolled in the NROTC program, I served aboard the aircraft carrier USS Independence (CV-62) homeported in Yokosuka, Japan as the Communications Department Division Officer.

I first worked as a photographer professionally in Tokyo, Japan, and then, after moving to New York City, as a photo assistant for eight years with some of the world's top professional photographers such as Norman Jean Roy, Anton Corbijn, Matthew Ralston, and Philippe Cometti.

Following graduate studies in landscape architecture at the University of Pennsylvania, Weitzman School of Design, I had the privilege of working at The Cultural Landscape Foundation, where I collaborated closely with some of the most significant designers of post-war landscapes: Harriet Pattison, Bill Johnson, and Joe Karr, to name a few.

In 2018, I moved back to New York City and started my own business specializing in landscape architecture photography. I leverage my love of landscapes and photography to collaborate with landscape architects to represent their vision to clients, the lay public, posterity, and other designers.

I strive to reveal the art of landscape architecture through light, composition, design, and Cartier-Bresson’s decisive moment, - to put it simply, the genius loci of the space. My masters of landscape architecture creates a strong foundation of shared language and vision with design firms. I ask designers to share their project drawings with me so that I can better understand their design intent and how to effective frame the images to express the designer’s vision. I prefer to represent designed landscapes strategically throughout  the seasons and over the years - they change constantly, that's what makes them so compelling and beautiful. "Not unlike life itself" as James Corner noted. Thank you for looking.
