About Me

My passion for photography took flight along with traveling when I got my first semi-pro camera to travel through Europe. This passion started with street photography and transcended into nature photography. I was honored to have two of my photographs published by National Geographic. As a professional photographer, I have done weddings, portraits and stills. Ever since then, I have been expanding my knowledge of new trends and techniques in photography and image post processing in order to deliver high quality imagery to my clients. In 2017, I took on Real Estate Photography and it has translated into an amazing endeavor and a fulfilling business. On a personal note, I am a proud husband and stepdad, a nature & water-sports enthusiast and an adrenaline seeker.
