I am currently a senior at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, having started at the school as a computer science major and switched to sociology for photograph a year in. I have been taking pictures my entire life and have been shooting professionally for three years. I was photo editor for one year and have been web editor for two and a half years and The Daily Cardinal, a 10,000 circulation daily student paper at UW-Madison.
I began photography professionally because I love working on a new location and job everyday, the people I have met so far fascinate me. My focus is documentary and photojournalism photography while fashion and studio work is also a passion I am developing. My eventual goal is conflict photography both in the US and internationally.
In addition to still photography I am also developing sound and video projects and am looking to do more every week. A few pieces of my work are available under the tab above if you are interested in that aspect of my work.
I am currently available to shoot or assist on very short notice in the Milwaukee/Madison/Chicago area and have and am willing to travel as well. I hope you enjoy my photography and please feel free to contact me concerning any assignments, Cheers
