Describing myself is always the hardest part of making a website. After all, there's a reason I'm not a writer. I'm much better with photos than I am with words.

I started shooting professionally during my time at The University of New Hampshire, where I studied psychology and studio arts. Those two disciplines complement each other extraordinarily well, and I love artistic images that will spur some type of emotional reaction in the psyche. In other words, my favorite thing is to create controversial pieces through intense manipulation, extreme lighting, or awkward camera tricks.

Of course, at the same time I enjoy the opposite end of the spectrum, the world of weddings, sports, and other fast-paced types of photography. Being able to capture a moment that lasts only a split second is amazing in itself. However, having the capability to then examine all the intricate details that we frequently miss when they quickly pass (especially during weddings!) is something that I find truly incredible.

I've mentioned the two opposite ends of the photography spectrum, but in reality I enjoy pretty much anything that involves taking photos. I love the challenge of new assignments and an unbeaten path.

I also like graphic design, and while at this point it's only something to take up my quickly shrinking amount of free time, it's something that ties in very well with having a photographic eye and a vision for style.

If you're wondering what the quotes are on the banner, you're like many other people. These aren't just arbitrary quotes, many of them capture my thoughts on photography, and are a bit witty at the same time!
