I Take On Projects That Inspire Me — With Professionalism and Intention
Retired architect. Freelance photographer. I create art through collaboration. These days, I say yes to projects that spark my interest and inspire my creativity. I’m based in Tempe, Arizona, specializing in photojournalism, portrait, automotive, urban/street, and cinematic storytelling.
My work is rooted in creativity, experience, and a deep respect for the people and places I photograph. I create images that aren’t just seen — they’re felt. My goal is to capture those fleeting, meaningful moments that become treasured for a lifetime.
Photography is both my passion and my craft. I take on a select number of commissioned projects each month, with pricing based on an hourly rate and/or the specific needs of each project, including lighting, travel, preparation, and post-production.
Sometimes a project involves payment and sometimes it doesn’t — and that balance works for me. What matters most is the creativity, freedom, and joy that this chapter of my life allows: the ability to create art because it inspires me, not because I’m obligated to. While I occasionally offer select TFP (Time-For-Print) collaborations, they are rare and chosen only when a concept truly resonates with my artistic vision. TFP is never my default approach; it’s a deliberate, intentional creative partnership.
The TFP approach is where we both invest our time and creativity to bring an idea to life. Because I’m retired, I have the freedom to choose the projects that truly inspire me. All of my TFP collaborations receive the same care and attention to detail as my paid sessions — because for me, every image deserves excellence.
Every photo shoot results in thoughtfully finished, edited JPEG images — ready for social media and personal printing. I take pride in delivering polished photographs that reflect both our connection and artistic vision.
Whether it’s a portrait filled with personality, a car bathed in cinematic light, or a landscape alive with Arizona color, every photo is shaped by decades of creative experience and a passion for photographic storytelling.
Capturing Life in..
Photojournalism
Through my lens, I document truth as it unfolds — people, movements, and moments that shape our world. My work as a Professional Member of the National Press Photographers Association (NPPA) reflects a commitment to ethical storytelling, accuracy, and respect for the subjects I photograph.
From local events and community gatherings to parades, protests, and human-interest stories, I strive to capture authenticity — the emotion, energy, and humanity behind every scene. Each image serves as both art and record — a visual narrative that informs, connects, and inspires.

Compelling Portraits
From bold and creative to natural and timeless, portraits that reflect who you truly are.
Cinematic Automotive Photography
Cars have character. I highlight the design, detail, and energy of vehicles — whether it’s your daily pride and joy or a collector’s gem.
Urban/Street Photography
Unposed, unfiltered, unscripted. Candid moments full of story and atmosphere.
Serene Landscapes
Arizona skies, desert light, mountain valleys — sweeping scenes captured with depth and artistry.
Lifestyle Photography
Real-life moments, real connections: family, love, friendship, and celebration.
Macro & Product Photography
The small becomes extraordinary. Detailed close-ups that reveal hidden beauty.
I don't just make images. I leave pieces of myself behind
