Deerhunter for Rolling Stone


I spent last night photographing the Deerhunter show at the Variety Playhouse in Atlanta for Rolling Stone. My work is usually hopelessly bound to color, and the only monochromatic palettes I tend to gravitate towards are not that of gray. The editor suggested not to shy away from black and white when she sent along the [...]

Florida: Daytona Beach


I rolled into town near dusk and made my way to the KOA where I would spend the next couple nights camping in my little tent amongst the roar of motorcycle engines propelling bike week revelers.  Within moments of my arrival, a biker camped next to me made his way over to laugh at [...]

The first stop of my recent trip to work on my new project, ‘Florida: Eden Isle’, took me to the sunny shores of Panama City Beach where I spent a day hanging out with drunken revelers celebrating the not-so-timeless tradition of Spring Break.  It was scary to think that not so many years ago [...]

Erica Hubbard for The Washington Post


I photographed actress Erica Hubbard on set during rehearsal for her upcoming play titled Liberty for Lydia.  Hubbard portrayed a historic account of an African American slave in this period piece, which took place on March 9, 2013 at Kimball Theatre in Colonial Williamsburg.  It’s an interesting dilemma and debate between the need for [...]

Rich Kidz for The FADER


When The FADER calls, you know you are in for an interesting shoot.  You also normally know you’re in for something authentic as this predictor-of-what’s-next craves images that feel real and fresh.  The publication normally impresses upon the artists that you want a look into their real life and not another trite image of [...]

Richard Blais for The Wall Street Journal


For the ongoing fitness series in The Wall Street Journal, I photographed former Top Chef competitor Chef Richard Blais in Atlanta’s Piedmont Park.  Blais, whose restaurants include HD-1, Flip Burger Boutique, and The Spence, demonstrated a technique he utilizes entitled fartleking – a method of training which blends continuous training with interval training. Blais [...]
