Partner, Instructor, Director of Collaborations at National Parks at Night
Bio
I am a travel and self-taught fine art photographer, who has been exploring the night topography for over 20 years. I love the “process” of creating the image and pushing the limits to what we can do when we capture time for seconds, minutes, or even hours! I'm well versed in both film and digital, and I enjoy blending the surreal look of the night to enhance historic and urban landscapes. My work has been exhibited in NY, London, San Francisco, and Hawaii and I am the author (with Tim Cooper) of the recently released book Night Photography – From Snapshots to Great Shots.
I moved to Brooklyn 15 years ago and started working as a fine art printer, but with the onslaught of digital, those opportunities became scarce. Soon after that, I was hired by a small mom and pop photo store called B&H. It has been a great experience, giving me the opportunity to try out the latest gear and meet some amazing friends and fellow photo fanatics! For the last 12 years, I have been representing B&H at various workshops, trade shows, and seminars - taking pictures all along the way from Paris, France to Paris, Texas!
One thing that I have learnt along the way is how much I enjoy sharing my night visions with others. I get an absolute thrill when one of our students has the "Ah-ha" moment. I also try to keep the whole workshop experience fun while nudging you to keep on clicking.
I've been fortunate enough to drive across our beautiful country several times and have visited many of our National Parks along the way. It is a dream of mine to shoot and create an epic image of each park at night. Many of you also share this passion for preserving and appreciating these wondrous places. Indeed, the National Parks at Night are the ideal stage to take in the universe!
