About Me
Hello! I am fine art photographer and FAA-licensed drone operator based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
My photography doesn't fit into one category. I love capturing landscapes, nature, abstracts, or black and whites. I like patterns, shapes, vivid colors, strong contrasts, shadows, order, repetition, symmetry and asymmetry. For me, photography is about transporting the viewer to where I was—physically and mentally—when I took that picture.
My interest in photography stems from my dad, who, over the years, has taken countless pictures—of family, nature, and places he'd been. Before personal computers and digital cameras, he developed his pictures into slides, and every now and then he would put on a "show" for us. He has a good eye and considers what he sees artistically.
However, it wasn't until I bought my own camera in 2013 that I finally got serious about photography. I used my dad's camera a couple of times and decided it was time for me to buy my own. Looking back, I realize now that my interest in photography was always there under the surface. I am very glad I made the plunge! Photography has opened up a creative world for me. In 2022, I bought my first drone and I have been able to explore the medium even more. It has literally taken my photography to "new heights."
I enjoy sharing my work and I hope you enjoy it too! If you are interested, you can order prints right from my website. Your support is greatly appreciated!
