Portrait · Columbus, Ohio
I am a visual documentarian and historian with 28 years behind the lens. My practice is rooted in film photography and built on the belief that images are not content. They are records..
I learned on film, which taught me to commit with intention before pressing the shutter. That discipline carries into every session.
I work with institutions, nonprofits, and universities who understand that visual documentation is part of their legacy.
