​The more automated the world becomes, the more I hear from clients who need to humanize their story. That’s where my photography shines the brightest. Whether it’s creating intimacy with the musicians of the Pittsburgh Symphony or documenting a global 2025 project for AWS to show the humanity of their top generative AI partners, my work is always about people—about connection, joy, and truth.
 

That sense of joy has been at the core of my photography since childhood. Every subject I’ve photographed, from everyday people to cultural icons, carries that thread forward. Along the way, I’ve been lucky to learn from the best—I studied at RISD and worked under Annie Leibovitz—before building a career that has taken me all over the world. My work has appeared in nearly every major editorial publication and for clients ranging from IBM, AWS, Dick’s Sporting Goods, and Cardinal Health to Jeni’s Splendid Ice Cream, RK Mellon Foundation, Crocs, and the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra. I’ve also found deep meaning in working with nonprofits, arts groups, and community organizations.
 

I grew up in Pittsburgh, and after years in New York, Santa Monica, and Boulder, I returned home in 2018 with my wife and two boys. Pittsburgh is the most generous place I’ve ever lived, and coming back has given me a new perspective on both my city and my work.
 

I often describe my body of work as a parade that began when I picked up a camera at age seven. Every person I photograph takes their place at the front of the parade—until the next subject steps in. Once you’re in my parade, you’re part of it forever.
