Truth be told, I initially got into photography because I realized I couldn't draw—though my stickmen were pretty epic.

What really clicked, however, was knowing I could make more sense of the world with a camera in my hand. I've now been a professional photographer for over 15 years, shooting weddings, lifestyle, and fashion.

When I'm not shooting, I gravitate toward a specific aesthetic: I'm a fan of nostalgia, retro furniture, and mid-century architecture. While my roots are in '80s and '90s movies and hip hop, my current soundtrack is different!

You can usually find me chasing a good, strong coffee, collecting patches, or travelling. My work and life keep me strongly connected across Asia, America, and the Pacific.
