I've been an Atlanta photographer, shooting events and entertainment across the Southeast for over twenty years. My portfolio includes promotional work and portraits, live concerts, "meet & greets" and other events. I also have a substantial back catalog of stock images for editorial license.

News, 10/11/07: The opening reception of my "Hardcore to Hip Hop" show at the Sun Dial was a blast. The show is still up through October 29 - you can get details here...

Too much happening lately to keep web site updates current. BET Hip Hop Awards were great. Photo show in July at the Composition Gallery was fantastic - thanks to everyone who came out. I did still photos on video shoots for T.I., T-Pain, Ciara and R. Kelly (featuring Usher). There's an article about me in the Winter issue of SIR Magazine. I shot a backstage profile of Martina McBride for Country Weekly. Shot backstage and performance shots of Ne-Yo and Chris Daughtry at their shows during Final Four weekend. I shot for the Military Channel at the incredible Best Ranger Competition. A profile of Matteblack appeared in Pine Magazine, you can read it here. Shot backstage at Bonnaroo. More updates soon.
