Film Photography Reignites Passion
My passion lies in the art of film photography.
Getting back to the basics of photography keeps me in the industry. I'm currently removed from portrait and wedding photography, but remain involved in the medium of fine art film photography.

After more than a decade in business, it's time to focus on the area of my craft that resonates with me most.
I majored in fine art at the Peck School of the Arts at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. Ignoring my true vision and passion for film photography eventually led me down a comfortable path. But as I slowly began to listen to the small voice within me, I realized I was called to do so much more as an artist.
My current film work is created on both a Leica M6 and a vintage 35mm camera. Reading the light meter, then setting the aperture and shutter speed keeps the process simple, freeing up time for the creative process.
It's time to pivot into the world of fine art.
Just as my son once said, "You never know unless you try."
