Actual Role: Stills Photographer

Alter Ego: Wing Walking Professional

Personality: A curious and reserved user-friendly photographer.
 

History in the making: It all started with my passion to become a 007 agent when I was 10. My James Bond attaché case had all the gadgets and even a hidden camera. I somehow got side-tracked through the years and found myself finishing a university degree with no ambition or direction. During those months the university's publicity department lost both of their photogs and they pleaded with anyone with a camera to help. As fate would have it, I was the only hobbyist available (They were desperate). The brief stated that I would have full access to the campus with unlimited film. This was my entry point into a whirlwind of amazing photographic opportunities.

From a publicity photographer to a full-time art photographer (see links below), I began winning awards for my trademark style in art, entertainment, and lifestyle and traveled throughout America, Europe, and the UAE. I am grateful that the university took a chance on this hobbyist which gave way to front-row experiences with some of the most interesting people in the world. Even though my dream of working for MI6 has been delayed, I have, however, been trained by the Jame Bond Film Stills photographer Nicola Dove.

General DNA: A positive thinking figure-it-out-kind of a person.

Music: Kansas, The Spinners, Linkin Park, Evanescence, Seal, Dominic Miller, Zero 7, Gentle Giant.
Movies: Cinema Paradiso, Citizen Kane, Spider-Verse, Secret Life of Walter Mitty, About Time, Any Christopher Nolan film, Knives Out.

I spend my weekends: Flying drones, rollerblading, long walks, sitting around a fire with friends.

Interesting Fact: I delight in spending hours sifting through movie stills and rollerblading at night in metropolitan cities ( but not at the same time).
