Self-portrait, 2025
I'm a Baltimore-based real estate and architectural photographer. I studied the intersection of architecture and urban policy at Northwestern University, and it has shaped the way I read buildings: how they’re put together, how they hold light, and how people move through them.
Alongside photography, I’m also an active filmmaker. I write and direct independent feature-length narrative films, and that work has a direct influence on my photography. In film, every location contributes something to the story: it sets tone, defines character, and creates context. I look for many of the same things when photographing real, built environments: the details that give a space its character, the relationship between rooms, and the way light and design shape the experience of being there.
That background also shapes the way I think about visual style. In filmmaking, the story dictates whether a scene should feel clean, neutral, warm, dramatic, or restrained. I approach photography in much the same way. The look of an image should come from the building, the light, and the purpose of the photographs rather than from imposing the same style on every space.
My work combines careful composition, controlled lighting, natural color, and precise perspective with an interest in how a building actually feels and functions. I want the photographs to describe the architecture clearly while still conveying the qualities that make a particular place distinctive.
Whether I’m photographing a home, an interior, or a larger architectural project, my approach is essentially the same: study the space, understand what matters about it, and make photographs that communicate that as clearly as possible.
