Real stories. Real people. Thoughtfully observed and directed.
I create editorial photography for national publications and story-driven brands, working with an emphasis on character, context, and narrative. I photograph on assignment across the U.S., approaching each story with an observant, understated style that supports the reporting rather than overtaking it.
My work focuses on people in place—portraits and moments that feel specific, considered, and grounded in reality. Whether producing a single portrait or a long-form feature, I aim to deliver imagery that carries tone, visual cohesion, and a clear point of view.
I work closely with editors and creative directors, bringing experience, flexibility, and clear communication to every assignment. The result is photography that integrates seamlessly into print, digital, and multi-platform editorial storytelling.
Trusted for human-centered editorial storytelling
I work with editors and creative directors who need photography that feels honest, thoughtful, and true to the story being told. My approach combines observation with gentle direction, allowing real moments and personalities to come through while maintaining a strong visual standard that supports publication and brand storytelling.
Editorial Process & What Editors Can Expect
-
Editorial assignments often come with a clear vision, shot needs, and timeline. I collaborate directly with editors and creative directors to understand the story, priorities, and visual direction before arriving on location.
Clear communication ahead of time allows me to work efficiently on-site while still leaving room for moments to unfold naturally during the shoot.
-
Most editorial subjects are not models — they are business owners, employees, community members, or individuals being featured for who they are.
I quickly build rapport and create a relaxed environment that allows people to feel comfortable in front of the camera, resulting in portraits and moments that feel natural, confident, and authentic to the story.
-
Editorial work often means walking into new spaces with limited time to assess lighting, background, and logistics.
I’m experienced at reading environments quickly and making creative decisions on the spot so we can capture strong imagery without slowing down the assignment.
-
I’ve shot editorial work for over 20 years. It was my first foray into photography. I’ve photographed Sarah Palin, Proud Boys, people on death row for publications.
One of my superpowers is to connect with people, even though we might not see eye to eye.
-
I understand that editorial assignments often operate on tight schedules. I move quickly, stay organized, and make sure we capture what’s needed without unnecessary complexity or disruption to the subject’s environment.
-
Images are delivered promptly via private online gallery for easy download and review. Files are provided in both high-resolution and web-ready formats.
I’m happy to provide metadata for image details, names, and context to support captions and publication needs, and I prefer to have usage clearly outlined ahead of time.
Let’s tell a story that feels honest, human, and visually compelling.
