I am currently working as House Photographer for the Allstate Arena and Rosemont Theatre in Rosemont Illinois. The Allstate Arena can seat up to 20,000 people and the Rosemont Theatre is more intimate, seating 4,500 people.
In addition to performance photography, I am also a Fine Art, Nature, and Urban photographer. Selections from my work can be viewed on this website. Feel free to contact me using the contact page for more information.
My passion is primarily focused on floral and macro photography and I specialize in capturing an image in its rawest state. I am passionate about my craft and love bringing my vision to life through the lens of my camera.
I shoot with two of Sony’s flagship mirrorless bodies: the Sony A1 and the Sony A7R V. The A1 is my workhorse for live events, giving me a rare mix of speed and quality. Its ability to capture high-resolution images at blistering frame rates means I never miss a critical moment on stage, whether it’s a burst of energy from a performer or a subtle interaction in the crowd. Paired with excellent low-light performance and 8K video, it’s the perfect all-in-one tool for concerts and fast-moving environments. The A7R V, on the other hand, shines when I want maximum detail. With its 61-megapixel sensor, wide dynamic range, and crisp rendering, it’s the camera I reach for when texture, clarity, and depth are most important — especially in portraits or fine-art work.
My lens kit covers just about every shooting situation I encounter, from massive arenas to intimate portraits. For long reach, I rely on the Sony 200–600mm G and the 100–400mm GM, which give me the ability to isolate subjects even at great distances, perfect for stage shots or wildlife when I step outside of live events. The 70–200mm f/2.8 GM is my go-to for versatile coverage, delivering sharp, bright results in almost any setting. I also keep a lineup of primes for specific creative looks: the 85mm f/1.8 for portraits, the 35mm f/1.4 GM and 24mm f/1.4 GM for storytelling with shallow depth, and the 16–35mm f/4 zoom when I need a wide perspective. For macro work, I use the Sony 90mm f/2.8 Macro and the specialized Laowa 25mm f/2.8 Ultra Macro, letting me get incredibly close to fine details when the subject calls for it.
Beyond cameras and lenses, my kit includes lighting, stabilization, and even aerial tools to round out my creative options. A Gitzo carbon-fiber tripod paired with a Really Right Stuff ball head keeps shots steady when precision is key, while the Westcott FJ400 strobes and FJ80 II S speedlights give me flexibility for both controlled studio-style setups and quick on-the-go lighting. And when the story calls for a new perspective, I bring in the Autel EVO II Pro drone, capturing sweeping aerial views that complement my ground-level work. Together, this gear isn’t just a collection of tools — it’s a system that lets me adapt to the pace and variety of live event photography, ensuring I can deliver images that feel alive, immersive, and true to the moment.
