My Style and how i work

My main objective is to capture moments that happen in an instant and that evoke an emotion. I have a keen sense for human behavior which helps me anticipate moments before they happen, and capture those moments as they unfold in front of me.  I am  a perfectionist through and through and always do my best to deliver what you are looking for in your photographs.

experience

Working full time as a staff photographer for daily newspapers for more than 3 decades has helped me hone my skills as a photographer.  From breaking news to high school and professional sports to taking portraits, weddings, and architectural work, I am constantly learning and working to get better every day.

I was born and raised in Buffalo. NY and moved to Schenectady 19 years ago. I am proud to call the Capital Region my home.
