Boston Portrait Photographer

As a portrait photographer based in Boston and New York, I visually introduce my audience to the story’s protagonists. Some portrait photographers impose their style on the subject, but I aim to be open and let the subject and story determine the style. At times, my portraits are carefully crafted with specific backdrops, lighting, and poses; at other times, they capture candid moments, as the subject has learned to trust me and share more of who they are.

This portfolio includes a selection of portraits for editorial outlets such as the New York Times and Time Magazine, as well as commercial clients like the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Sanofi. Most recently, I created commercial portraits of athletes and adventurers in far-flung locations like Turks & Caicos, Jordan, and Everest Base Camp. Of course, my favorite portraits are of fancy pigeons, which I had to capture before they flew out of my makeshift studio on their owner’s rooftops.

Many of my portraits are made on location with a portable studio, or in my Davis Square studio, just north of Boston.
