My Story

I am an automotive lifestyle and event photographer based in Boston, Massachusetts. I also contribute to various automotive magazines and websites, including Petrolicious and Drivenworld magazine, both of which are located in my hometown of Los Angeles, California. I’ve also lived and worked in The Hague, Netherlands for a small NGO focused on artificial intelligence and robotics.

When I’m not working I'm finding the next story to tell, whether that’s driving down the backroads or exploring the ins and outs of a new city. Not surprisingly, I'm also an avid traveler. Some of my most memorable international destinations include: exploring rooftops high above Amsterdam, venturing across frozen lakes and ascending snow-covered mountains in the Bavarian Alps, road tripping down the coast of Croatia, and bicycling around countless small towns in the Netherlands. For me, having a great story to tell is often its own reward. Photography is a fantastic way to tell that story.


I'm always looking for new artists, creatives, and photographers to collaborate with and be inspired by, no matter the distance. If you have any questions about me or my work, or any project ideas, you can contact me at the link below. You can also find, follow, and connect with me on Instagram.
