Photography & Video

Below are some of my photographic and video works over the past 10-15 years. Although photography is far from my primary focus, I do enjoy getting out and taking shots, which is necessary at times to fill a gap in a design as well as feel the creative spirit. My favorite subjects to shoot are landscape, product, and macro. However, I am also fully capable of modeling/portrait work as well. Feel free to check out some of the samples of my work belw and let me know what you think. or if you have any specific photographic or video needs you would like to discuss, please drop me a line.
