Narcisissm

I am a freelance photographer based in Austin, TX.

I'm currently shooting a wide variety of styles, including photojournalism, commercial work, portraits and “lifestyle” shots.

My philosophy regarding photography is that I'm trying to capture a moment that otherwise would have gone by unnoticed. In a way, it is my desire to share those otherwise-not-seen moments with others.

I strive to follow this in my photojournalistic work. My purpose is to tell a story, be it in a single image, or a series of images. Even with portraits, sometimes you can catch a glimpse of what's beneath the surface, if you try just a little.

When shooting commercial work, it's hard to follow this philosophy since, well, it's a commercial (read: staged) work. However, some of my personal favorite shots from commercial jobs have been outtakes - photos that portrayed the moment perfectly, but did not fit with the client vision of the work.

I am currently in the process of expanding and improving my portfolio, so if you are interested in my services, whether it may be TFP/TFCD or a paid shoot, please contact me, and let's talk.
