I'm a photographer based in Las Vegas creating images centered around people, story, and atmosphere.
My path into photography started in my twenties while backpacking through South America. What began as a way to document the world around me slowly turned into something much bigger. The camera became a reason to connect with people, pay attention, and understand places beyond the surface.
Since then, photography has taken me through humanitarian relief zones, busy city streets, live events, news environments, and quiet everyday moments that would otherwise go unnoticed.
Today I specialize in portraits, headshots, events, documentary work, and editorial-style imagery. My approach is shaped heavily by photojournalism. I care less about overly polished perfection and more about making images that feel honest, cinematic, and human.
Over the past few years I’ve worked as a photojournalist in Las Vegas covering everything from major events and breaking news to community stories and personal portraits.
Whether I’m photographing a corporate event, an artist backstage, or someone who simply wants a strong portrait of themselves, I try to approach every shoot the same way: stay present, observe carefully, and create something real.
I believe the best photographs usually happen somewhere between intention and spontaneity.
When I’m not shooting for clients, I’m usually walking through the city with a camera, working on long-form personal projects, or documenting the people that make Las Vegas feel unlike anywhere else.
Available for portraits, editorial assignments, events, and commercial projects in Las Vegas and beyond.
