I'm a photographer, arts advocate, and lifelong metalhead based in the northwest Chicago suburbs.  My creative interests include music, theatre, costumery & makeup, cosplay, and any kind of performing arts.  My past work features a range of subjects varying from traditional portrait sessions to character studies to live events and festivals.  I strive to give every image I take a unique style that fits the personality of its subject, as well as create an atmosphere which places the scene in a rich, almost-dreamlike state.

​

Fun facts: Some of my favorite bands/musicians include Iron Maiden, Nightwish, Ghost, Queensrÿche, Dio, Blind Guardian, and many others.  I'm also a classically trained singer and have had the privilege of sharing the stage with many great musicians, including the Apollo Chorus of Chicago, Sinfonia da Camera, and Barry Manilow.
