A brief bit about myself...


In 2000 decided to take the step to peruse a long time passion in photography for that I enrolled in an Art Photography program at Nassau Community College NCC Garden City, NY. I have participated in several student art contests and exhibited in many photo exhibitions. After graduating from NCC, I built up my own freelance career working as a photographer. Today, I live in the New York Long Island area and work from a studio in nearby New York City. I regularly attend seminars on Photoshop techniques workshops.

Before all this, I was a NYC-based professional photographer working freelance, mainly for fashion and beauty clients. And these days I am busier than ever with studio photo shoots. Digital imaging has extended the number of skills I can offer to clients. Today, I enjoy being able to manipulate and craft the pictures I shoot and this gives me not only enormous creative satisfaction, but a good living. In a competitive (and some would say declining) market, this is a welcome bonus.

Interests outside of photography and computers include outdoor activities like traveling around the world. I like music genders, such as Latin music, alternative rock, dance, ambient, jazz, soul and R&B. I often get the opportunity to visit South America and Europe and love to take time out to drive around, explore small towns and investigate the local music scene and cultures.

The photographic industry has gone through many changes. The advent of digital imaging has made high-quality digital imaging an affordable reality for many. It has also brought about less welcome changes, such as the way clients are able to purchase and commission original photography. Such changes are inevitable, yet I believe there are also many ways in which photographers are able to adapt and take advantage of new technologies and thrive from this digital revolution. Never before has it been so easy to communicate with so many people across the world through visual images
