You can find a lot of information below on what technical skills I have, where I went to school, where I’ve interned. More important than all that, I’m a good guy to have on set! I’m knowledgeable, easygoing and responsible. I’m fascinated with the technology of photography, and I try to learn as much as possible about every camera, strobe system and software suite. I love people, and can help keep a shoot fun for your clients and subjects, and efficient for you. I’m also tall and can reach things really easily!
