DO YOU NOT KNOW...
I AM THE WEIRDO!
I've been doing this for over fifteen years — long enough that people ask why I'm only now going all-in on photography. It took 15 years to convince myself that I was good, and enough.
My people tend to be the ones who don't photograph well under fluorescent lights and a forced smile — business owners who built something real instead of something safe, people who want their body or their ink shown off instead of hidden, folks who need a headshot that doesn't make them look like they work in a cubicle they've never actually sat in. If that's you, we'll get along fine.
My one rule is: don't be an a**hole. Everything else — how weird you want to get, what you want to wear, whether we shoot at midnight — we can figure out together. I've been doing this long enough to know the best portraits happen when people stop performing and start being exactly as strange as they actually are.
BEAUTY IN THE HIDDEN THINGS
I like capturing the qualities that make us human — our skin, our scars, what we put over them, what we take off. Salem taught me early that the strange and the beautiful are usually the same thing wearing different clothes. I'm not interested in a version of you that's been smoothed into looking like everyone else's headshot. I'm interested in the version that looks like you actually showed up.
Some of that comes down to process. I shoot digital when a client needs it, but the black and white work is film — Ilford HP5, developed and printed by my own hand, no lab in between. I've got a full tattoo sleeve dedicated to exactly that ritual, which should tell you how seriously I take it. Ask me about it sometime — there's more going on there than just ink.

I'm based in Salem, Massachusetts, and I work across the North Shore — Beverly, Marblehead, Ipswich, Swampscott — wherever the right client happens to be. If you're curious, get in touch. Beauty is in the hidden things, and I'd like to help you find yours.
