I'm the guy who brings a camera everywhere.


Seriously, at the park, a birthday party, date night, Thanksgiving, it doesn’t matter. If I’m there, I most likely have at least one camera with me, just in case.

 

I am a portrait photographer and photography educator from Greenville, SC.  I love photography; I try to photograph daily. Photography isn’t just a hobby for me. I’ve been living and breathing it for years now. In college I picked up a camera and quickly found myself putting it to work, whether it was sporting events, coverage for the school newspaper, yearbook, or advertising department, I spent the better part of my time at Wofford with a camera in hand. Then spent a summer in Alaska shooting for a newspaper, where I spent time learning from a prize winning photojournalist and retired professional product and portrait photographer. After that, I helped write, edit, create images for and publish a book on southern literature and culture funded by the Watson Brown Foundation. After college, transitioned into freelance event, portraiture, and high-end antique photography.

 

Now, I divide my time between teaching high schoolers how to use a camera and see light, following my two little boys with my camera, and doing freelance portrait work. If you're looking for a photographer who lives and breathes all things photography, I’m your man.
