Travel & Landscape

For this series, I traveled around North Dakota to capture the natural lighting and textures of the landscape. I focused on mixing wide, open scenery framing with tight detail shots to show the true atmosphere of each location.

Nature

In this project, I wanted to focus on the organic shapes and vibrant colors found in botanical life. I used tight macro photography and high-contrast color edits to highlight the fine details of different flowers and plants.

Portraiture & Creative Identity

I shot these portraits both in the studio and out on location to focus on the unique character of my subjects. I used ambient lighting, high-contrast close-ups, and relaxed compositions with studio lighting to capture their real personalities.

Sculptural & Faith Studies

For this fine art series, I photographed architecture in Acuna Mexico and religious sculptures in Nashville Tennessee. I wanted to capture the physical weight and emotional feel. I relied on soft, moody lighting, deep colors, and heavy shadows to make the textures pop.
