Behind the Lens
Professional Photographer | Over 30 Years of Expertise in Advertising and Fine Art Photography
With more than three decades of experience, I specialize in delivering exceptional advertising photography in Syracuse and the Central New York region. I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Advertising Photography from the renowned Rochester Institute of Technology and an Associate’s Degree in Graphic Arts from Onondaga Community College. My passion for creativity and technical expertise has been further honed through workshops I conducted with the Polaroid Corporation, teaching others how to create fine art images using professional materials. My artwork has been featured in galleries across the area.
A Unique Approach to Photography
My photography is deeply influenced by my background in design, enabling me to craft distinctive and visually compelling images. Collaboration is at the heart of my process—I take the time to meet with clients to brainstorm ideas, discuss their vision, and develop a customized plan to produce images that stand out from the competition.
Versatile Experience Across Industries
While the majority of my work focuses on advertising photography, I also excel in fine portraiture. Whether in the studio or on location, I am skilled at adapting to any environment to capture the perfect shot. Over the years, I’ve partnered with a wide range of clients, including:
- Universities and academic institutions
- Real estate professionals
- Manufacturers and industrial facilities
- Artists and creatives
- Advertising agencies
- Models and dancers’ portfolio development
Capturing Extraordinary Moments in Extraordinary Ways
My commitment to delivering unique imagery has led me to some unforgettable adventures—whether hanging out of airplanes, scaling rooftops, seizing the moment on the 50-yard line of a professional football stadium, or even diving into water with a camera in hand, I go the extra mile to bring your vision to life.
