How I Work

Through photography, stop-motion, and cinemagraphs, I create narrative-driven imagery that helps brands connect with their audience and reach their marketing objectives.

Whether the brief is an advertising campaign for a beverage brand or a visual asset library for a hotel, I collaborate with clients, agencies, and creative teams to develop imagery that reflects the brand’s unique voice.

I'm equally comfortable in the studio as on location, from solo editorial assignments to larger commercial productions. From creative development and location scouting to casting, production coordination, and collaborating with stylists and crew, I manage each stage of the process with care and attention to detail.

Based in San Diego, I work throughout Southern California—including Los Angeles and Orange County—and am available for travel worldwide.
