Why I do what I do.

For me, photography embodies a sense of spontaneity and openhearted curiosity that guides everything I do and puts me smack dab in the middle of life. The camera acts as a catalyst, transforming everyday events and experiences into insights and images that reveal the intrinsic human connection behind the imagery. 

With three decades of professional photography behind me, my most recent projects stem from a deepening interest in women’s issues, focusing on ethnic cultures around the world—but always with an emphasis on crafting visual stories that serve to unite.


Where to find my work.

My photography has been widely published in many leading magazines, newspapers and travel guidebooks. Publication credits include National Geographic Traveler, Conde Nast Traveler, Islands, Elle, Brides, and the Los Angeles Times. Additionally, my imagery is represented by Alamy and Getty Images photographic agencies.

How we can connect.

You can find me on facebook and instagram, or drop me a note via the contact page on this website or reach out through the professional organizations I belong to: the American Society of Media Photographers (ASMP) and the Society of American Travel Writers (SATW).
