Biography

I have always been open to new experiences and photo opportunities. I am available for hire and am dedicated to offering professional, friendly services at an affordable rate, while providing unsurpassed quality.

Born in Bavaria, Germany, I arrived in America at an early age and discovered a love for the arts. At the age of six, I began my creative journey with the study of classical music, which lasted six years. As a teenager, I discovered the Rock & Roll band "KISS", which changed his musical direction and I began playing guitar. Since, I have aquired years of experience in the studio recording, performing live, and touring.

During my musical journey, I found a talent for photography. While I enjoy photographing a variety of subjects and have biult a vast portfolio, my passion is capturing live performances. Having been the performer, I know how the artist wants to be presented and deliver just that, A passionate entertainment photographer. As a music fan, I have the added advantage of knowing the audience/fan perspective, allowing myself the keen eye to capture the moment that demands remembering.
