About

A couple years ago I discovered the style of light painting photography. Since then, it’s kept me up late into the night- with new ideas, photoshoots and editing taking up a good chunk of my free time. Most of my light painting work is done after the sun goes down, and outside of my daytime work as a web developer (my sister jokes I’ve turned into a bat but I do a good Bartok impression) it’s my favorite way to spend my time.

A majority of what you see on this website was created without the use of photo manipulation software, which is a characteristic of my style of light painting. Almost all photos are taken with long exposures, a few other handy devices besides my camera, and a lot of strategic planning. I love pushing the limits of what is capable in a photograph without using photo editing software. Approaching my photography this way pushes me to be better, create more interesting images, and allows me to spend less time behind a computer screen.

On a personal note, my desire to make light painting my full-time career was further increased when I was diagnosed with testicular cancer late in 2017. My love for light painting provided a ‘light’ at the end of the tunnel (pun intended) that I thought about everyday while receiving treatment and fighting cancer. After a long fight with a team of incredible doctors and the support of my friends and family, the cancer is in remission – since then I’ve decided to pursue light painting with more rigor than ever before. It’s going to be one heck of a ride.
