About
Professional advertising photographer and photo studio owner specializing in people, food, and product photography. Time to give back, for the pure love of the art.
Mastering light and the art of seeing has allowed me to capture beautiful images, and capturing beautiful images allows me to see something different every day! I get to meet the most interesting people and eat the most amazing food and see amazing places.
I have a photography degree from Purdue University and did some Master's work in lighting design for theater, which allowed me to learn about 3-dimensional lighting and color blending. I started in the photo business in 1989, working for several prominent photographers, and did some work in professional video production. I have worked as an independent still photographer since 1995, and co-founded Alias Imaging Photography Studio in 2003.
Those Skyline Chili billboards you saw all over recently, giant 3-way and coneys?
Yeah, I did that.
