Bio

Background: As a photographer and film and television director, my passion is to tell inspiring stories, whether in a single photograph or in a film. With photography, each image catches 1/60th of a second in time, a lot like a memory. My mentor in photography is my Grandmother, Nina, a professional photographer who captured images on her extensive travels. I started assisting her when I was 8 and knew immediately that photography was my passion. I’ve too have made travel a priority over the past 20 years -I love adventure, the natural world, and the exploration of other cultures.

View of environment: Easy. Mother Nature is my religon.

Favorite Piece of Equipment: Right now… Canon 5D. But there's nothing like a 2 1/4 x 2 1/4 Rolli or a classic Canon A-1. And I will always love Tri-X 400 and Polapan!

Favorite Place to be Creative: Anywhere. Land, Sea, Sky, Space!
