About

I am a photographer working at the intersection of adventure, editorial storytelling, and human connection. My experience comes from the world of big walls, glaciers, and high-exposure climbs, and I bring that same focus and adaptability to every shoot, whether it’s a corporate portrait, an outdoor campaign, or an athlete on the sharp end.

My clients range from legal teams and publications to outdoor brands and nonprofits who want imagery with narrative and impact. I also work closely with blind and para-athletes as a caller and coach, which keeps my work rooted in access, trust, and representation.

I hold an MFA from Parsons, and my fine art series “Portraits of Ephemerality” has been exhibited internationally. My current body of work, Where the Ice Still Speaks, continues that thread through glacial landscapes and deep time

Whether I’m hanging off a rope, shooting in a boardroom, or editing from the road, I care about honest visuals, collaboration, and stories that stick. If that’s what you’re after, let’s talk
