I’m a computer geek by profession and probably have been since birth. I’ve always had a passion for taking photographs as well, first with my film cameras, then the digital point-and-shoot cameras. I wanted to get a bigger camera, a DSLR, but my wife always said no. She knew I was horrible at hobbies and said I had to take some photography classes before we could make that investment. However, that all went out the window when we discovered I’m not just computer-coded; I actually have a creative bone. I went along as an assistant to a friend, a professional photographer, just because I liked to take photographs. That was my first wedding shoot, and I discovered the true extent of this passion. A few months later, in March of 2010, I got my first DSLR camera, a Canon 1D Mark II. Then, come August of 2010, my wife surprised me for my birthday with my second camera, a brand new Canon 1D Mark IV. I haven’t looked back since. I am confident in myself and my work. I don’t base that just on my images but on my passion and personality. I love working with people, and I make every effort to understand what they want. My first work was in retail, I enjoyed retail just for that face-to-face people interaction. I enjoy photographing people just as much. Now, not only do I love interacting, but I love studying people’s faces and the way the light enhances their features. The most exciting part is capturing them in their moments, with their emotions.
