My work has appeared in SPIN Magazine, the Wall Street Journal, Pitchfork, the New York Times, New York Magazine, Metromix, amNY, and others. My clients include A&M/Octone Records, Clear Channel Digital, and Beggars Group USA.

My favorite thing to shoot is concerts: anywhere from abandoned ships, Chinese restaurants, dark nightclubs, ornate sit-down theaters, old churches, parks, and more.
