Photojournalism // Published and Personal Work
A few examples of my photography both published and unpublished. I am working on a separate website featuring documentary and street photography.
From a series about nightlife in Moscow, Russia for the magazine Maxim. I’ve always loved this type of street photography. Taking pictures in public places is always a challenge. I do my best to be discreet, using the smallest camera possible and only available light.
Ballerina photographed backstage at the Mariinsky Theater in Saint Petersburg, Russia. I was very fortunate to be invited to photograph dancers during rehearsals at this renowned theater that was called the Kirov Ballet in the Soviet era.
While on assignment for the New York Times, I took this picture of a steel mill worker. It was never published, but one of my favorite portraits.
Cyclists crossing Austin Creek for the annual bike race “Grasshopper,” a combination of road and dirt routes in West Sonoma County where I live.
From a personal series about gun owners in the US. One hand holding a Budweiser, the other a gun and the blurry motion of the guy holding a pistol. It’s unnerving. Out of the hundreds of pictures I took that night, this one worked. Taken with black and white film at a time when that was the only medium I used.
From my first documentary project about drug addiction taken in Santa Cruz, California.
Actor Ralph Fiennes on the set of the film “Onegin” in Saint Petersburg, Russia.
At the Tam Tam Club in Saint Petersburg, Russia.
Great Blue Heron photographed at Tomales Bay, California.
I took this photo of a Great Blue Heron on February 16th, 2021 near Inverness, California. When COVID began, my work as an event and portrait photographer was put on hold and I was drawn to photographing landscapes near where I live in Northern California.
I’m very happy to be working again as a full-time photographer, but this long pause has brought me to places I most likely never would have explored.
