About

Trained as an architect, my career as a consultant to international design firms has taken me to destinations around the globe from my home base in Hawai‘i.

Through my photography, I seek to capture the essence of a particular person, place, or moment in time.

It is especially gratifying to tell the stories of nonprofits doing good work, creating images that help advance their missions.

I’m also enjoying teaching classes focused on how to improve your photography using your iPhone.

Reach out to me if you’d like to use an image, frame a limited-edition print, host an exhibition, book me for a presentation, or engage me for an assignment.
