Artist Biography

I am a professional assignment, event and portrait photographer serving Baltimore, Ann Arundel, Montgomery and Howard counties in Maryland. I photograph editorial assignments, commercial and family portraits, and all your special life events. Visit the Gallery section of my web site where I continue to add fresh, exciting collections that document my work. All of my photographs are available for licensing unless otherwise noted. If you don't find photographs you seek in my online portfolio, contact me directly. I maintain a detailed, searchable database of every photograph I take and will happily research photographs you seek. If you need fresh photographs of an artist that is currently touring, ask me about a music photography assignment. My rates are fair and I can deliver the photographs you need.

Equipment

Over the years, I have learned that the photographer takes the photograph - not the camera. If you wish to learn more about what equipment I used for a specific photograph or show, contact me directly and I will happily discuss this with you. My current brand of equipment is Nikon. I use this brand because I like the ergonomics of the camera bodies, I like the quality of build, and I like the quality of the images I am able to capture. That being said, many photographers capture equally good or better photographs with other brands. The camera does not take the photograph - the photographer takes the photograph.
