Made and assembled in Belgium but reprogrammed in California.

I've been photographing as a calling since 2008 after assisting another artist since 2003.  I'm always looking for beauty expressed by energy, forms, light and raw emotions.

The journey to photography wasn't the most straightforward one.  I started out as a composer/conductor by training, dabbled in painting and performance art but spent a lifetime as a self-made inventor in cutting edge technology covering a variety of art and photonics technology fields.

Laser and light special effects in music performance, movies and entertainment installations brought me to Los angeles, California, where exposed to brilliant talent, I developed the ability to see beyond the surface.

I don't photograph subjects but I photograph the way they make me feel and how this translates into a visual story.

My art has been called cinematic, quiet, emotional, dramatic, intimate ...

I'm currently based in Stockton, California but I have the privilege toward all over the world with great teams.

In my spare time, I'm converting a Stockton historic firehouse, built 1906-1908, into a gallery, studio, darkroom and meeting space for the creative photographic art community.

Contact me to inquire about current projects and rates. I shoot commercial, travel, portrait, events and fine art.

I work in digital 35mm and MFDB. I'm equally at home in analog film technology up to 8"x10" film.
