Throughout my career I have worked extensively in studio environments ranging from military media production to commercial photography, music videos, fashion, and artist branding. My experience began during my military service as a Combat Camera specialist, where I worked in highly structured production environments that required technical precision, lighting knowledge, adaptability, and the ability to perform under pressure. That background gave me a strong foundation in both photography and videography while teaching me how to work efficiently in fast-paced and demanding situations.
Since then, I have continued building my studio experience through creative work with artists and entertainers including Nikki Minaj, DVBBS, and members of the Wu-Tang Clan. Working within the music and entertainment industry has allowed me to develop a strong understanding of cinematic lighting, creative direction, styling, and visual storytelling. I have extensive experience directing both male and female models during shoots, helping guide posing, wardrobe choices, facial expressions, movement, and overall presentation in order to create polished and visually engaging imagery.
Technically, I am comfortable working with a wide range of professional camera systems including Canon, Sony, and Nikon platforms. I also have experience using professional lighting equipment from companies such as Aputure, Amaran, Godox, and Neewer to create everything from dramatic studio lighting setups to softer editorial and fashion-oriented looks. In post-production, I regularly work with software including Adobe Lightroom, Photoshop, Affinity Photo, and other editing and creative applications used throughout the photography and design industry.
When working with me, clients can expect someone who brings not only years of technical experience, but also a strong creative eye and awareness of current trends in photography, lighting, fashion, and visual media. I constantly study evolving styles and techniques in order to create work that feels modern, cinematic, and visually impactful while still adapting to the needs and vision of each individual project.
