How did you get into photography?
I got bored with life and picked up a camera. I’m sorry if this is too short, but this is honestly how it happened.
Career highlights?
1) I recently got to shoot some promo images with LIGHTS. I’ve been trying to shoot her for I don’t know how long now and whenever she was in NYC our schedules didn’t match up. It went really well and we had a blast. She is one of the nicest people and musicians I’ve met thus far. 2) Obviously getting to go on a world tour for 6 months with Bieber was amazing. Still to do this day for someone who hasn’t been a photography for long at all to snag that gig is still amazing to think about. 3) I had a photo on display at the Tate Modern in London the summer of 2008. It sucks though because I was in London in September of 2008 and when I went to see it, it was taken down the week before.
What do you still want to accomplish?
I still want to shoot editorially. Mainly celebrity portraiture, lifestyle work. At one point, I’d love to have a gallery show. As of right now though photography will be taking a small backseat as I am getting ready to start an exciting new project.
Favorite tour memory?
Favorite memory was playing golf in Sao Paolo with Justin on a billionaires private golf course. He was so nice and welcoming and after sad us down with his family for an awesome lunch, some of the best chicken I’d ever tasted. He also showed us his car museum. Not collection, MUSEUM.
