This project involved volunteering time to document a charity golf event supporting Help America Hear, an organization dedicated to providing hearing aids and hearing healthcare to individuals in need.
Challenge
The goal was to visually capture the atmosphere, energy, and human impact of a live fundraising event while supporting the organization’s mission. The content needed to feel authentic, respectful, and emotionally engaging, while also highlighting the purpose behind the event.
Approach
I provided full photo and video coverage of the golf event, focusing on candid moments, participant interactions, and key event highlights. The visual direction emphasized natural storytelling rather than staged or overly produced imagery, allowing the genuine emotion of the event to come through.
Attention was given to capturing a balance between:
- The environment of the golf course
- Volunteers and organizers working behind the scenes
- Participants engaging with the event
- Key moments that reflected the mission of the organization
Post-production focused on selecting impactful moments that best represented the spirit of the day and the cause behind it.
Outcome
The final deliverables included a curated video and photography set that documented the event and supported Help America Hear’s outreach and awareness efforts. The content was used to help communicate the impact of the organization’s work and highlight community involvement in their mission.

The visual direction focused on showcasing the craftsmanship, textures, and atmosphere of the booth while creating fast-paced, platform-friendly content optimized for digital marketing and social engagement.
By combining cinematic footage, photography, motion editing, and branded storytelling, the final content was designed to feel polished, immersive, and aligned with Classilk’s premium brand identity.

The Challenge
This self-initiated photography series explored how familiar environments can be transformed when viewed from above. The goal was to capture landscapes, cities, and natural moments from perspectives that are often overlooked, revealing patterns, scale, atmosphere, and visual details that are rarely experienced at ground level.
The Approach
Using drone photography as both a technical and creative tool, I documented a range of environments including urban skylines, coastlines, sunsets, and abstract landscape compositions. Some images focused on symmetry, texture, and geometric patterns visible only from a bird’s-eye perspective, while others emphasized the calmness and isolation created through distance and scale.
I handled every aspect of the project, including drone operation, aerial composition, image capture, color correction, and post-production editing. The editing process was intentionally kept cinematic and atmospheric to preserve the emotion and tranquility present in each scene.
The Outcome
The series became an exploration of perspective, transforming everyday locations into immersive visual compositions that highlight scale, structure, and atmosphere. By combining aerial photography with thoughtful post-production, the project created a collection of imagery that encourages viewers to experience familiar places in a new and more contemplative way.

The Challenge
For Retrolovely Magazine’s “Devil or Angel” themed editorial, the goal was to create a visually striking series that balanced contrasting moods of light and dark while maintaining a cohesive editorial aesthetic. Working within a makeshift studio environment, the challenge was to produce imagery that felt polished, atmospheric, and emotionally engaging despite limited space and resources.
The Approach
I photographed models Veda Rose and Brittany Sky both individually and together, focusing on composition, lighting, and posing that reinforced the duality of the concept. Careful attention was given to creating distinct visual tones that represented both the “angelic” and “devilish” sides of the editorial while keeping the overall series stylistically unified.
In post-production, I expanded the visual direction through creative retouching, color grading, and atmospheric effects to introduce additional energy, drama, and mysticism into the final images. Lighting and backdrop setups were carefully optimized within the studio space to create depth and cinematic contrast throughout the shoot.
The Outcome
The final editorial transformed a limited studio setup into a stylized conceptual series that aligned with Retrolovely Magazine’s themed publication. The project demonstrated creative problem-solving through lighting, photography, and post-production while delivering imagery strong enough for magazine submission and publication.

The Challenge
The Pinup Society needed a themed editorial photoshoot that authentically captured the visual style and personality of late 1960s and early 1970s pinup culture for magazine publication. The goal was to create imagery that felt era-accurate while maintaining a polished and modern editorial quality.
The Approach
Working closely with the styling direction established through wardrobe, hair, and makeup, I focused on creating photography and post-production treatments that reinforced the nostalgic tone of the shoot. Lighting, color grading, and image retouching were carefully developed to emulate the warmth, texture, and visual character associated with vintage photography from the era.
Consistency across the final image set was an important part of the process, ensuring the editorial maintained a cohesive visual identity throughout the series.
The Outcome
The final editorial successfully captured the retro aesthetic the publication was seeking, resulting in multiple cover placements and featured spreads throughout the magazine issue. The project combined photography, visual styling, and post-production to create a cohesive editorial experience that aligned with both the publication’s audience and the creative vision of the shoot.
Wanted to capture the magic of a burning man sunrise. Where else can you see someone walking into the distance and see a large dragon in the background. The second image was trying to take the photo and create a texturized version that looked like a canvas painting.
