Team Photographer since 2006 for the Rochester Americans, the American Hockey League affiliate for the National Hockey League’s, Buffalo Sabres, in addition to freelancing for the affiliate, I have caught many a sporting event.
In addition to that, I am also the Team Photographer for the National Lacrosse League’s Rochester Knighthawks as well as their collegiate Summer league teams, The Rochester Armory and Hawkeyes.
Since 2015, I have also been photographing Runway fashion. This includes invitations to fashion weeks all over the world, including New York, London, Paris, and Milan.
Clientele include, Vivienne Tam, Vivienne Hu, Bronx & Banco, The Blondes, Alice & Olivia, Mer Playa and many other designers.
As a prolific music lover, photographing concerts have given me extra joy in capturing the moments of legendary recording artists throughout the years. This includes, Mariah Carey, Madonna, Rihanna, Beyonce amongst others.
When it is that special time to say “I do”, it has been my privilege to be able to capture monumental life events such as these.
Whether it is the romantic engagement or the wedding itself, making sure every single detail is recorded has been one of the most important things when it comes to photographing your special day.
Whether it is a charity gala or a special show held at a nightclub, it has been in my employ to photograph such events. Through the years, I have had the wonderful opportunity of capturing these moments. This included the Lexus Kitana presentation, the announcing of the Western New York Bar Association honorees, or even that of the Mayor christening the legendary Statler Towers.
When it comes time to capture the stoic moments through Portraits, I find that this is the most empathetic way to connect with the subject and its viewers. Whether it is for business or for maternity, it is a great way to display what one is trying to convey, whether that be through professionalism or through thought provoking imagery.
“To see the World through one’s eyes”, it is not just a phrase but a philosophy I try to bring to life each and every time I travel. Through my lens is a magnificent way to do so.
Whether it is through the magical volcanoes of Hawaii, or that of the mountainous Swiss Alps, I believe it is my obligation to capture such moments and share them with the world.
When it comes to commercial and product photography, there is no other important way to display that without the use of photos. Through my vast experience, I have had the opportunity to be hired to capture such imagery. Clientele include, Porsche, Lexus, Moe’s Southwest, Bauer Hockey, Brian’s Hockey, Pride Tape amongst others including those I’ve photographed for fashion.
There is no other joy than capturing the essence of nature, especially when it is in its rare form. This then encompasses that of animals and their truly fascinating ways. Whether it be in the wild, or just them taking a lazy repose at home. It is in animals, and their precious moments we love to see each and every day.
In the world we live in today, it is important to document the actions of others, whether that be deemed historical or not. Through the lens, this is the only way to mark the events of this day and age, whether that be through politics, news, or the general pulse of what is happening in today’s society.
