About
South Bay local, originally from and currently residing in Palos Verdes, CA. My studies in photography date back to the earliest years with my grandfather, a professional photographer who worked alongside Ansel Adams on various shoots. Continued education in photography began at Chadwick School, while continually shooting photography throughout my life. My approach to professional photography began in 2008, with an emphasis on landscape and portrait styles. Added services and expertise have developed over time.
