PHOTOGRAPHY BACKGROUND

I was 16 when I picked up a camera for the first time. A Kodak Z981 was the first camera I ever touched. None of my photos mattered but I loved it, and it started it all.

At first, I started with helping my school at sporting events, prom and other event coverage. Eventually that led to odd social jobs like engagement photos or senior pictures.

My photography took a hit over the winter of 2022. My work became more sparce and my interest deadened by the pressure of money. Though, in 2023 my love for the automotive scene grew, and I picked my camera back up and started shooting cars. This relit the flame for what would lead me to today.

Since then, I’ve photographed hundreds of cars, tens-of-thousands of photos, made life-long friends I’d never have met otherwise, been a part of opportunities I would have never been in. My life simply is not the same and I would change nothing if I could go back in time.

community contributions

I try every day to be a positive member of the community, engaging, charitable and of service. These are some of my favorite ways to give back to my community and social circles. All I want is to make a difference.

  • Some of my greatest photography memories are organizing group photoshoots. When I do these, I usually find a photographer who’s work I like, or haven’t met and invite them to shoot. I also choose the vehicles based on what they are and if they fit my shoot goals. My latest shoot as of writing was 5 cars and 4 photographers. Many of them traded instagram’s, have never met and now everyone went home with new friends.

  • I believe the work I do is a privilege and I’m blessed to be in the position i’m in to be a provider. I believe everyone who is passionate and good at heart deserves to be apart of this community and experience.

  • Some of the best support I have to offer is to other photographers. I share photoshop templates, Lightroom presets, practice RAW files all for free. I am always open to answering questions from other photographers on how my process works, constructive criticism and other photographer support.

  • People and cars are my expertise. I help my close friend Daniel run a show called Taste of Japan. I do all of the visual media at no quoted cost. This is poster photoshoots, graphic design, event coverage and more.

    Recently, I’ve started working with Canton Cars and Coffee of Minerva Motor Club under the same agreement.

    As of writing, I am in talks with Malco Automotive to be working with their “Street Team” for event booths and photography coverage.
