In its heyday, the Berkshire Mall was the place to go in Lanesborough, Mass., drawing huge crowds of enthusiastic shoppers and producing plenty of tax dollars for the small town.
“There were times you could not find a parking place in this mall — inside, it was packed,” said Timothy Sorrell, a town select-man and former police chief in rural Lanes-borough, which has a population of about 3,000. For teenagers in particular, it was the
place to hang out. — A Town’s Former Glory

Editorial Photography

As a photographer, I strive to tell stories truthfully, with a genuine curiosity and respect. My journey began in the newspaper industry, where I worked at the St. Petersburg Times. Later, I lived for a decade in Egypt, covering stories across North Africa and the Middle East. My work encompassed a wide range of topics, including culture, politics, and revolution. In 2020, I returned to Boston to document this dynamic period unfolding in the United States.

My time is divided between personal projects and editorial photography. Most of my work is in New England & New York, but I have also been commissioned for projects worldwide and still have a penitent for projects in the Middle East.

I employ a diverse set of skills in my photography, such as drone photography, video production, portraiture, infrared photography and attaching cameras to pigeons. However, the most essential skills remain the journalistic fundamentals of getting close, listening attentively, and bearing witness.
