About

I have photographed across the Middle East, from Egypt to Iraq, and provide wedding and portraiture services in the Washington D.C. area.

I use a mix of full-frame digital equipment as well as 35mm and 120 film cameras, and output my work on an HP Z-9+ 24” large-format archival pigment inkjet printer that is the size of a stove.  I shoot almost all of my subjects with a fast 28mm or 85mm lens, and most of my landscapes with a 20mm lens.

The Middle Eastern sun is harsh and directional, a fine environment for black and white film but a challenge to the dynamic range limitations of digital sensors, as are the odd wavelengths thrown off at night by fluorescent light bulbs, ubiquitous in the Middle East.  Much of my outdoor and night photography are therefore shot in black and white, while I typically turn to the digital sensors for low-light images and images of colorful subjects.
