I’m from Arizona. Which means I can handle the heat
I mean that literally and professionally. As a former desert rat, I grew up shaking the dust and chasing golden hour. It’s where the photographer in me was born. Then I moved to NYC, where I learned sometimes golden hour is 4 pm because daylight savings is a weird thing.
I spent ten years behind the lens, telling stories, and making things look pretty. Then I wanted to get my hands dirty again. Today, I’m an art director. I still chase the light, but now I build concepts around it.
