Your Trusted Buffalo Photographer for Creative Visual Storytelling
Capturing life's individuality and eccentricity through photography has been my passion for nearly two decades. My work spans diverse subjectsfrom Wall Street executives to theatrical performersserving advertising agencies, corporations, educational institutions, and national magazines. Rooted in a four-generation family legacy of visual arts, I combine insights from renowned photographers with influences ranging from Russian constructivism to Eugene Atget's documentary style.My Buffalo studio, operational for 1-2 years, builds on 20+ years of community relationships developed during my University at Buffalo education. I offer versatile production support including set carpentry, hair/make-up, and hybrid digital/film capabilities (8x10 to 35mm). My acclaimed book project 'New York Changing' reinterprets Berenice Abbott's 1930s NYC vistas through contemporary lenses, earning praise from The New Yorker and industry leaders.
