I am a freelance photographer, musician and artist who has spent the past five years or so traveling, shooting, performing and creating all across California and beyond. I am currently based in Los Angeles, but frequently travel north to San Francisco and the bay area at large to visit, work, and perform. It is a goal of mine in just about everything I do to capture obscure slivers of magic from oft-unexpected places. Be they photographs, memories, or musical inspirations, I am constantly on the lookout for them on the road, in rusty junk heaps, in dive bars with poor sound equipment, in strange corners of wild deserts. I have created this site as a one-stop representation of all my creative endeavors, and as a thorough portfolio of all my work in consideration for hire. I hope that you find something within here that you enjoy - and confidently believe that you will.

My aesthetic is one of rust, grittiness, desert desolation, abandoned buildings, drunken accordions, rotting wood, train tracks, dead vehicles in their final resting places, antique stores, medicine shows, old typewriters and clocks, dirty streets at 4 AM, Dia de los Muertos, and wonderfully strange microcosms that we either create or find ourselves in unexpectedly. In addition to an extensive portfolio of musicians, models and actors I've worked with, the photography section on this website is full of evidence from some of my favorite adventures, events and experiences. If you're a musician yourself, you may also find interest in the custom guitar work I do. I take ordinary instruments and give them a rustic and somewhat steampunk makeover.
