Travel portrait photography — a lone traveller looks out over the Leh valley and snow-capped Himalayan peaks, Ladakh.

Some moments are loud. Most are quiet.

What we notice is what we remember.

Selected Work

Moments that stayed with me.

Night portrait photography — a woman in a cream corset lit by the neon glow of a city.

Stillness

Night street portrait photography — a man in a herringbone overcoat with a leather clutch on a lamplit street.

After dark

Portrait photography — a woman in a flowing printed dress walks a sunlit tropical beach.

In between

Travel photography — a person in an orange beanie gazes across a still river through autumn trees at dusk.

Passage

Aerial drone photography of Kelingking Beach — a cliff peninsula and hidden white-sand cove, Nusa Penida, Bali.

From above

Landscape photography — barren mountains mirrored in Pangong Lake, Ladakh, a lone figure on the far shore.

The long view

Documentary portrait photography — a young monk smiles from a painted monastery window in the Himalayas, Ladakh.

Philosophy

Presence

When people slow down, they stop performing. That's when the real story appears.

The photographs we remember aren’t always the ones we planned to take.

Services

Stories take different forms.

Portrait photography — a man in a felt hat and headphones in warm neon light on a city street at night.

Portraits & People

Honest photographs that feel lived in rather than posed.

Brand and architecture photography — a domed corner building on Rodeo Drive, Beverly Hills, with a passing sports car.

Brands & Spaces

Visual stories that help places, products and people feel memorable.

Event and film photography — a vocalist and band performing under stage lights at a live concert.

Films & Visual Stories

Motion that captures how it felt, not just how it looked.

About

I’m a photographer and filmmaker with an engineer’s instinct for detail.

My work is built around observation, preparation and storytelling, whether I’m photographing a person, a place or a brand.

I make moments that feel honest now and stay meaningful later.

If you have a story worth remembering, let’s create it.
