about

I'm originally from the U.S. but have been living in Jamaica for the past 20 years.
The lure of the islands & the hate for snow I guess.
I've always been involved in the arts in one way or another, I was a professional musician for quite a few years(the 80's were interesting). I worked as a digital designer for a time & I was a potrait & wedding photographer for a bit but decided I like dealing with inanimate objects better.

When I first moved to Jamaica, I was prompted to focus more on digital design, marketing & advertising as that's what the market called for. My photography work was put "on hold" for a bit.
In the past six years , with the introduction & evolution of digital photography, I've refocused on shooting pictures once again, realising that photography & digital design, a lot of times go hand in hand.
I now specialize in food, product & interior photography & food styling.
Known for being very particular about detail, I enjoy the creative aspects of styling, lighting & shooting food & interiors to make these things look as perfect as possible.
The digital age, incorporating photography with computers(I love my Mac) has made this more of a pleasure & an art for me than a job.
