My passion for cars has always been present. Unlike most enthusiasts, I didn’t grow up around cars, at least not any worth mentioning. However, I did grow up around my eccentric grandfather, a true tinkerer of a father who always had some array of mechanical projects taking up space in the garage, and a mom who couldn’t go anywhere without her camera bag. Weird how those things determined my entire career path, huh?
It wasn’t until 2016, when I got my first camera and started bringing it to car shows, that my newfound passion for automotive photography began.
On January 4th, 2019, I had my very first private shoot. After that first shoot, I was hooked on the idea that I could get paid to do this, and it was that day that I knew what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. Photography and cars are the two things I am unequivocally dedicated to and obsessed with.
Photography is so much more than just taking pictures of cars to me. It is about storytelling, capturing unexplainable moments, and creating art through moments in time. I've been photographing cars for over 10 years now. What started as a hobby eventually turned into a full time career, and I'm still enjoying every moment of it along the way.
got questions?
Where are you located?
I'm based in Long Island, New York, but always happy to travel for the right project.
What if I want something outside your current packages?
If your project is outside the scope of my current offerings, please reach out via the booking form with an in-depth overview of your project and budget, and I'll let you know what I can do.
Do you do group pricing?
Yes! Whether you and a few friends want to go in on a group shoot, or you're looking to have your collection photographed for auction, I can tailor a package to fit your needs.
Do you only shoot cars?
No! While automotive and motorsports make up the majority of my work, I'm always interested in branching out, over the past few years I've had the pleasure of working with real estate agents, barbershops, glass distributors, commercial gyms, Etsy shops, and more.
Can my friend/family member/significant other/dog come to the shoot?
You're always welcome to bring someone (especially dogs) — just let me know ahead of time.
What's your turnaround time?
Turnaround can vary depending on the scope of the shoot and which package you selected — I'll always give you an estimate on the day of the shoot, but you can typically expect your final images within 3–10 business days.
