Local Photography in Salem, MA

I've been a remote aircraft pilot for 25 years and after putting my first camera in the air 10 years ago, I was hooked on aerial photography. Many can buy a drone and fly it but really mastering it takes time and experience, and that's why I'm here. I can bring years of success to the table and make your project or event look it's best!

Connection and authenticity are at the core of my work. I've found the best way to create art is by facilitating a safe and enjoyable space for us to collaborate. I put all of myself into my job so that you can have photos you can look back on in the years to come that fill you with joy. I work with a small team of talented photographers to be able accomplish any vision you might have!

I am a Marine Veteran, and a father of two daughters. After serving in the Corps. I started working in the cable industry, attending school at night earning my degree. I would say as with any parent to their chagrin, I snapped a few thousand pictures of my daughter’s sporting events and dance recitals. To earn a few extra bucks to attend seminars, purchase lighting and other equipment fueling my appetite, I would take portraits for my fellow parents. Even becoming the main professional portrait photographer for the cable company’s annual employee week for several years. After 25 years of both working in the field, later transitioning into the office, I was laid off in 2022. Being a parent, I took various jobs as an electrical tester, however the jobs never felt right, I always had this underlying thirst for photography. Struggling to make ends meet, following my passion for photography, I created a photo studio in my basement. Working with local models, our work was published in several small periodicals. Some of these images appear on the cover of these magazine. Native bands have invited me to capture images for their social and other media needs as well. My portraits and still work have also been displayed in numerous international galleries. Many of my family portraits, as well as other images adorn the walls of my home. I specialize in event and still photography. A snap shot can capture a mood; remind you of a tender moment or change your emotion. An image also has the power to compel you to act or influence a person’s perspective. The philosophical definition of ego is the complete person comprising both body and soul. With this ethos, I will work closely with you throughout the project to capture your life’s precious moment. Contact me today to start collaborating! Thank you for your interest!

I love capturing images that highlights the beauty & personality of each person/couple/or venue I work with. Each session is different, but making it a fun & enjoyable experience is something I take pride in. I truly love what I do, which I feel is evident through my images.
