SCROLL DOWN TO REVEAL
As a professional photographer and cinematographer—or what some might call a videographer—I have always been drawn to the power of shadows, contrast, and storytelling through dramatic imagery. Rather than following the bright and airy trend many photographers embrace today, I create visuals that evoke emotion, depth, and a timeless feel. My work is about more than just capturing moments; it’s about finding a narrative that speaks to the soul, whether through the lens of a wedding, a brand story, or a cinematic experience.
North Carolina has been the backdrop of my journey, shaping my artistic style and fueling my passion for photography and videography. Every frame I capture reflects my dedication to telling stories in a bold, unique, and unforgettable way.
