, a retail shrine to all things analog. He has helped us with various things at StreetFoto over the years and we’re thrilled to have him helping to judge this year’s film contest. Here is his bio:

I’m one guy with a camera, a vision, and a desire to make images that people can use to market, promote, and document themselves, their businesses, and their causes. I have a wife and daughter, and one day I hope I can send the kid to college, or at least help her become smart enough to apply for some scholarships.

I specialize in production stills for movies and television, live theatrical performances, promotional theatre photographs, and headshots for performers. I specifically make pictures of these things because these are the subjects I love most.

With my experience in movies, television, and theater, I have a special insight into what casting directors are looking for in a headshot, and I want to help you get noticed and book more roles.

I have a studio space located in Benicia CA, but I am available for on-location shoots.

I play video games. I don’t follow sports. At all. I listen to music like The Beatles, Zeppelin, AC/DC, Oceansize, Queens of the Stone Age.

If you want to learn more about what I do, how I do it, and anything else I feel is interesting enough to share, you can read my blog.

If your production needs stunning photography for marketing, publicity, promotion, distribution, and so that the memories don’t fade undocumented into the ether, or you need headshots to help you get some parts booked, get in touch with me!
