About
At age 9, I used a vintage 1959 Petri rangefinder and the exposure information inside a Tri-X film carton to complete an advanced art class project (and have the prints to prove it). By age 13 I had my first darkroom setup, much to the detriment of the top of my mother's washing machine. I got my first paying photo job at 15, and at 17 did a yearlong photojournalism mentorship.
After going to school at the Southeast Center for Photo/graphic Studies I got a job as a newspaper photographer. Through a series of bizarre confluences, I eventually found myself in an office as a Vice President of Corporate Development & Technology with a news organization, updating spreadsheets and looking for synergies.
In 2001 I left the steady paycheck world, and have been an Independent photographer/photojournalist in the Indianapolis area since.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
With new customers, I like to really understand what is they need photographically. What style, what volume of images and what kind of deadline. Once I have that information I can put together a plan to deliver exactly what my clients wants.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have worked in photography for years. I started out at newspapers before moving on to national editorial and corporate clients.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your services? If so, please share the details here.
I work in 1/2 and full days. The rates depend on what type of usage, and the complexity of the job.
