54 Years of experience

Photography has been the love of my life next to my wife of course. For a good portion of the last half-century I have been at the forefront in my field as an international award-winning news photojournalist, writer and “Hollywood insider.” My company has well-earned respect globally from eminent marketing firms, entertainment industry executives, celebrities themselves, publications, captains of industry, the literati, royalty, spiritual leaders and the political arena. I am a highly experienced event photographer having seen my work appear in most of the major publications globally. Recently I've been specializing in food photography fulfilling dozens of assignments for Albuquerque the Magazine. My distinctive skills were also well suited to the moving picture industry having been a special unit and unit photographer, director, writer, researcher and/or producer on more than 200 films, television and video productions. In my directorial debut, I garnered the top Director’s Gold Award at the International Family Film Festival for my feature film. I was also in the U.S. Navy as a photojournalist during the Vietnam War.
