About

I was first published in the LA Weekly for Rockers Report and La Dee Da. Those photos graced the pages of the LA Weekly when the magazine's circulation was over 2 million copies weekly. Craig Lee was the editor that placed my photos in the LA Weekly in 1986/87. I am a photojournalist who contributor to both AdMedia and ZUMA Press. I've been published in People Magazine, Mother Jones, Wall Street Journal, The Los Angeles Times, Vice & Vanity Fair. I shoot red carpet, music concerts, photocalls, and celebrity events as an Entertainment or House Photographer. My photos have graced many publications and broadcast programming across the globe. I'm very involved in cultural documentation and I have an interest in Fine Art Photography. I'm in the process of curating my photographs for Art and Decor projects. My interest in wardrobe expanded and I didn't return to any photographic work till the late '90s. I picked up photography again to properly document my work in costume design. But then I found myself photographing music artists, celebrity events. I've also positioned myself as a house and on-set photographer. My work continued to grow with more of my assignments getting published and expanding set still photographer. Now I'm fully involved in contributing editorial content to two photographic services. I shoot for AdMedia and ZUMA Press. My work includes event house photographer, photo calls, editorial content, and red carpet events. Photography is one of my great passions!
