My adventurous history, and creative spirit – having been a rancher, a bike racer, a photojournalist – led me down this photo path.
I look for the heroic, and the relatable in my subjects. I find it important to look for the subliminal contrasts and contradictions of life – unifying humanness.
To better inform my work for commercial clients and projects, I went back to school for a Master’s in Visual Anthropology (USC 2010). I’m inspired by the cultural landscape in which we and others live.
My work with East German cowboys is collected by the Wittliff Collections, a film of the same subject, Cowboys: East Germany, is distributed by Alexander Street Videos, and my 9/11 work in the permanent collection of the 911 Museum in New York City.
My clients – like Oracle, Ritz Carlton, Quicken, Microsoft, Symantec, Silhouette, Forbes, Fortune, Wired – appreciate my collaborative and idea-driven spirit in creating meaningful visuals.
