A Little Bit About Me...

I am a bald, bearded NY-based photographer who originally hails from Los Angeles . After arriving in NYC in 1997 , I began taking photos at small local punk rock venues first for myself, then later for the bands and their labels. An internship at Hellcat Records gave me the opportunity to grow my portfolio with access to bigger bands and larger venues.

In 2003, I became Photo Editor at Heeb Magazine. It was there that I fist had the chance to meet and photograph some of my comedy idols.

Since leaving Heeb in 2007, I have been taking portraits of the big names and up-and-comers of the LA and NY comedy scenes. I self-published 200 of the people in a collectible coffee-table book called Funny Business which can be purchased form my website. My latest book, How We Love, a humorous collaboration with writer Mike Sacks, featuring photos of Jon Hamm, Kerri Kenney-Silver, Paul Reubens, Laraine Newman, Chris Meloni, Patton Oswalt and many more, can be purchased through Amazon.

In addition to taking portraits, I also photograph experiential events and products for ecommerce.
