Photography is about finding magic in unexpected places.
Photography isn't a hobby, it's a passion. I can't imagine my life without it. I enjoy the challenges of trying to capture each location in just the right angle, and showcase our beautiful mountain state - West Virginia.
I was born and raised in Beckley, WV and was inspired by the ever changing landscape. My love for photography began in high school when I watched Coach Rick Lane enjoy the pursuit of the perfect picture. Since then, I have begun my own chase culminating in a professional career.
I have been inspired by my surroundings, other people in my community; however, Ansel Adams was a primary motivation beacuse of his spectacular landscapes. Because of this muse, my work has focused on landscapes, but has branched out to include waterfalls, night photography and antiquated settings.
I have visited my places from New York City to Californina, however, West Virginia continues to be my home. I love showcasing my state, displaying unfamiliar areas, and exposing the undiscovered beauty that is all around to newcomers.
