About

Nightscape photographer & visual artist, focused on the idea that even the most common landmarks take on an entirely different life in the middle of the night, away from the tourists and buzz of everyday living.

I'm fascinated by light - and its effect spread over time in long exposures, visualizing and capturing scenes that are impossible to see with the naked eye. I try to place myself into situations where people don't usually find themselves and allow the inspiration to come to me. Everything from the eerie silence of an otherwise busy street to way that the moon shines through a cluster of trees or the way a spotlight slices through a night fog can be deeply inspirational.

Red Rock Canyon, NV

While we were in Las Vegas for the Microsoft 365 Conference, we borrowed a couple Specialized Roubaix's from the Las Vegas Cyclery to ride the scenic loop at Red Rock Canyon. Covering 16 miles, the views of the canyon are stunning.

McKeesport, PA

My dad and I were able to capture this footage of downtown McKeesport in the summer of 2022. This is part of a series of 4k aerial videos of the towns & landmarks across western PA.
