These are the days
Was there any unusual circumstances around how you got into photography?
Nahhh, my mother always had a camera around the house so it was just another toy I’d play with.
How Long Have You Been Shooting?
I’ve been shooting photos and videos for almost 15 years, it’s extremely rare to leave the house without a camera.
What’s Your Favorite Subject Matter to Shoot?
Cars, nature, skateboarding and dogs 🙂
What’s was Your Craziest Photoshoot?
Whenever I make somebody drive illegally on public park sidewalks or business entrances. Growing up as a skater really taught me to be fearless with the locations I select. I love the adrenaline rush you feel when you’re trying to get the shots you’re looking for before the cops show up.
What Are You Currently Shooting With?
Super outdated equipment hahaha, I take pride in my editing skills. I love using my Sony VX2100 that records on mini DV tapes when I film videos though. Thank you skateboarding once again.
What’s the Best Memory You’ve Made While Shooting?
I’m living in it right now. I shot skateboarding and nature scenery for the first 10 years of my career but I never experienced all the support and sense of a community like I’ve felt once I got into the automotive scene. I feel like I’ve found my home and I thank everybody for welcoming me with open arms.
Worst Photoshoot EVER!!!
Whenever I have to shoot during our 20 degree winters hahahaha. I don’t know, I’m happy as long as there’s a camera in my hand.
