I have been taking photos for over 20 years.

I have been in the entertainment field all my life. I moved to the LA area about 3 years ago to pursue my more artistic abilities. I have been acting since I was quite young, doing stage work both in front of and behind the curtain.

I am also a professional illustrator which appoints me the fine skill of an eye - seeing the layout of a frame, an important skill in taking photos. I also started using Photoshop early on and know more about that program than most people ever will. I used it primarily at first for coloring my illustration work, but of course, have since expanded my use of the program to cover all aspects of digital photography, special effects, digital painting, and more.

For six year years I also worked as a professional animator for a software company. During this time I gained experience in digital video work and the use of blue screen and green screen work and digitizing those images for use in software programs.

I have also directed several short films, done casting, auditioned for many a project, produced pilots, constantly write, and I also write and illustrate my own comic, Rain.

Oh, I also play guitar. But who doesn’t really?

Anyway, my goals in taking your photos for your acting career is simple. To get you work. I don’t want to make you look like something you are not. You want a photo that get’s you in the door, says this is me, and when you walk in the door, the casting agent says in his or her mind “YES! This one ACTUALLY looks like their photo.”

I look forward to helping you out!
