Sr Photographer

Media & Entertainment

I have been shooting photos since 1996.  My main focus at the beginning of my photographic journey was the underground Christian punk and hardcore scenes of Southern California.  Since then, I have shot 100's of bands of all genres and levels.  Photographing music is a passion of mine.  I love being able to capture the raw energy of a live concert in a single frame.  One shot to tell the story of that band, at that concert.  I am able to use that skill in my fashion photography as well.  Being able to capture that moment that sells the outfit, the lifestyle or the image.  I pride myself on being a low key photographer that captures the moments without always interfering with the moments.  I like working organically with my subjects/team and let shoots develop as we go, while maintaining the main objective.  I am currently the Senior Photographer for Hot Topic.  I shoot ecommerce product imagery, National campaigns and help run the photo studios.

Sr photographer.  I am mainly responsible for all on model imagery, whether for online/in store/social outlets, but also do a fair share of still life/product/flat lay imagery as well.  I help maintain the photo studios.  Help with file management.  I am involved in the planning and executing photo shoots, in house and on location.   I take care of photo requests in a timely manner and help delegate tasks to the other photographers on the team or to freelancers.  I work closely with the marketing team, creative services manager, art directors and photo editors to capture quality imagery to suit the needs of the company.
