- I drove past the Kennedy Center the other day and if I had any doubts about leaving and moving back to Boston in a few months, they vanished in those 3 seconds of driving past that bastardization. I can’t escape this hellhole country, but at least I can move to a state that won’t fold so easily.
- That recent Vanity Fair photoshoot inspired me to try my hand at my interpretation of that editorial style of photography. That perfectly imperfect photo, striving for feel and “texture” over technical perfection. #photography #selfportrait #editorial
- The only sad thing is that when he dies he won’t get to see most of the civilized world celebrating his death.
- The amount of subtleties in the lighting here! I love the way this set came out. #photography #conceptualphotography #portraitphotography
- Photography isn’t dead. It’s just trapped under 10,000 reels of people pretending to teach it.
- There’s jellyfish with more spine than senate democrats. Get Cuck Schumer the fuck out of here.
- I’ve always wanted to try this concept and it really taught me how much I need to order make sandbags. The wind did me dirty! #photography #photographer #portrait #fashion
- Me when I try to replicate a $400k+ IMAX camera with a Canon R5 II. #sinners #movie #halloween #sinnersmovie
- Happy Halloween from me and the hunny 🧛🧛♀️🩸 #halloween #sinners
- I do find it a bit amusing how a lot of us photographers and videographers spend so much money to make our finely tuned and expensive gear create an imperfect image. Grain, haze, vintage lenses, etc. What feeling are we chasing? #photography #art
- How it started vs. how it’s going. 14 years is a hell of a development time. Show me your early work, don’t be shy :p #photography #photographer #professionalphotographer
- Sometimes all you need is a massive window in the studio. One of these days I’m gonna own a natural light studio. Or I’ll compromise and own a large studio where I can turn a giant scrim into artificial window light, heh. #photography #photographers #portraitphotography
- X100VI is so fun to use, it had me looking up the cost of a GFX 100S II for my work kit. I rather enjoy not having to color grade, ha.
- Maybe the real American dream is to leave. I’m tired. This country seems barreling towards total collapse…all because a part of it can’t accept that people who don’t look like them deserve rights. It’s an insane thing to witness live. It may be time to plan a move to Europe. Like seriously.
- In this content era, I feel that social media has lost all of the ‘social’ and has just become a nonstop bombardment of “trying to sell you something”. It’s tiring, and IMO is why there’s so much burnout in most artistic fields. How are you photographers doing out there? #photographers #photogtaphy
- The photos vs. the setup. Love me a good large scrim. Don’t love transporting them though, ha. #photography #photographer #portraitphotography
- Some looks with Trish. Really enjoying getting back to my studio work and messing around with new lighting setups! #photography #portrait #portraitphotography
- I’ve been offered a ton of money to do a comedy set aboard the Borg Cube.
- Bidding farewell to summer with Sooyo. I am so in love with this set. I was going through a bit of creative block for most of this year but I’ve been making a conscious effort to produce more personal work and I can slowly feel my mojo coming back. #photography #portraitphotography #photographer
- Flowers in my photos are sorta becoming my thing- #photography #portraitphotography
- Late summer sessions with Lillian. Canon R5 Mark II, 24-70 2.8 RF, natural sunlight. #photography #canon #portraitphotography #fashionphotography

- Congratulations to the Massachusetts RMV service center for being one of few entities to make me lose my temper with a service worker. How is a state with this much tax revenue allowed to have such an insane level of organizational incompetence when it comes to car/license registration?
- Heard prices were gonna go up because of these stupid tariffs so I pulled the trigger on some stuff I want to play with. Damn you Donald, look what you made me do! #photography #canon

- Setting up a Ubiquiti network in my house. I’m never going to financially recover from this.
- Nice.
- A little blurb on why I think you should always keep your raws, even those rejects and maybes! #photography #photographer #blog

- The best part about keeping all of your raw files is revisiting photos that you took years ago and editing them in the way you do today. Such a difference in editing styles from 2017 to 2025 me. Model: Maydie, 2017 #photographer #photography #portrait
- Making the time for personal projects #photography #portrait
- I wish more companies understood that customer service can make or break your relationship with the customer, regardless of the quality of the product. So many companies (including a new one as of today) with a good product that I refuse to use because the customer service is terrible.
- The moron governor here in Virginia gets on TV to gleefully celebrate the crusade against "DEI" on the same day Boston's mayor doubles down in front of congress on backing up its diverse people and immigrants. So what if I went back to Boston on my lease is up here lol
