In addition to editorial portraiture, brand shoots, architecture, and industrial photography, I also collaborate with The Cleveland Clinic and University Hospitals of Cleveland. At night, I’m the house photographer for Great Lakes Theater, Cleveland Play House, and the internationally renowned Cleveland Orchestra. Beyond these commercial endeavors, my artistic journey reflects an understanding of industrial aesthetics and a commitment to visual storytelling.
