Biography

Plainfield, IL

I am a Travel Photographer. I've been taking pictures since I was first given a camera as a teenager. I have photographed many subject matters since then. But it was in 2017 when I travelled to Cuba with a group of NY Street Photographers that I fell in love with photographing people and my street photography career was born. I realized early on that traveling is one of the most treasured experiences in ones life. It increases your knowledge, opens your mind and enriches your soul. As a full-time Travel Photographer I have travelled to many destinations in the world, immersed myself in the culture, and have been fortunate enough to document some of the most beautiful places and some of the most interesting people like the Cuban Ballerina that appears in my photo entitled, “Couch Surfing,” which was photographed in one of the most famous residences in Havana, the Josie Alonzo House.


Through photography's magical ability to record - it is my desire to tell a story, elicit an emotion, beg a question or conjure a memory. Ultimately it is my hope to have those that encounter my work to simply ... "feel something."
