Born and raised in New Jersey, I always had a fascination with photography, particularly portraits. But what really drew me in were those vintage TV Guide covers and old family photo albums - there's something about nostalgia that gets me every time.
I had the opportunity to work closely with photography legends Annie Leibovitz, Matthew Rolston and Robert Trachtenberg.
Witnessing their work was a privilege, and it gave me insight into the balance between art and commerce in photography.
A few years ago, I decided to pick up a camera myself. Now, I'm the one calling the shots. I prefer a simpler, more stripped-down approach to photography, focusing on capturing the essence of my subjects. It's a passion I take seriously, even though I'll crack a joke or two during a shoot to lighten the mood. Photography has become my true calling, and I'm grateful to be behind the lens.
