Important Things You Should Know

There's more to our studio than just photography. I am both a photographer and a visual artist. I have always been fascinated with the image. From an early age, conveying the image has almost been an obsession. Over time, I have been fortunate to share my vision and have my images hang on the walls of corporations and campuses throughout the country. Each and every opportunity has been an exciting occasion to me.

The medium has changed but the excitement has not. The pen and paintbrush have given way to the camera. The cameras have gone just about every place imaginable. They have captured the image on the professional football and baseball field, as well as on the Little-League field. From dirt-track to superspeedway, from 110 thousand screaming fans to 10 proud parents, from championships to make-up games, I have persued the image. These images have graced the pages of every major national sports publication and also graced the wallet of many proud parents. Of all the professional awards, the client's satisfaction is the greatest!

What could action photography and commercial imaging have in common? Neither avenue offers a second chance and are often done at a location other than your home-field. I work with the skills of an artist and technician to ensure that your opportunity doesn't escape. I pride myself on helping sell your product with the image. If the product is outdoor signage, a commercial campaign, the winning touchdown or the prized portrait that leaves a lump in your throat for many years to come, I want to share the image with you.

I have many years of experience with the medium that is right for the situation. Whether the medium is illustration, film or digital imaging, I want you to have the best product possible. Whether the project is in the studio or on location, assignment or stock*, I am still excited by the image. I would like to share this excitement with you on your next project.
