Portraiture

Years of capturing diverse people and places through the lens has contributed to how I structure empathy-driven campaign strategies.

Highlighting a range of emotional characteristics within a single moment is an intimate, deliberate, and gratifying process. It's a recommended hobby for all visual communicators.

EAST CLEVELAND

This project opens a window into my hometown. It's an urban suburb, once populated with Cleveland's elite. Today the city of East Cleveland's infrastructure is a shell of its former self, but the people still living there make the most of what they can from the resources available.

Fashion Editorial

In my fashion photography, I strive to capture the essence of style and individuality. My approach is rooted in storytelling, blending the art of fashion with the authenticity of documentary photography. 

My goal is to create compelling images that not only showcase the clothing and accessories but also evoke emotion and inspire imagination. Through my lens, fashion becomes more than just aesthetics; it becomes a powerful narrative of self-expression and creativity.
