I am an experienced photographer based in the San Francisco Bay area, California, USA. I am especially interested in all manner of portrait and fashion photography, as well as events, videography, and post production. My equipment is pro level (including Canon 5D, EF-L portrait lens, Novatron, Canon, Profoto flash). I enjoy photographing models and making them look their best. I am interested in photographing models including here at MM. I enjoy working with positive people. Please feel free to contact if looking for high quality photography at reasonable cost. I am willing to do TFP/TFCD depending on circumstances to expand my portfolio.

email is my preferred method of contact (tia):
