Professional photographer with over three decades of experience in most visual media. Currently working on assignments with National Geographic Expeditions teaching photography on small ship excursions worldwide and with Lindblad Expeditions assisting in operating the popular Expedition Photography program. Classically trained as a journalist but creatively driven by clients’ requests. As an award-winning filmmaker, I strive to tell compelling stories with dynamic footage and powerful still images. Some of my specialties include creating unique time-lapse videos on environmental issues, creating short documentaries, and presenting engaging visual keynotes to a variety of audiences. As a skilled naturalist and well-traveled photographer, I am an experienced public speaker available for hire. Proficient at shooting a variety of still photography for commercial or editorial use and creating custom time-lapse videos for any project.
