Kirk and Will, 2010
I am a photographer and filmmaker based in Seattle, Washington. My photo work carries the imprint of 25 years as a practicing architect.
In leading notable office, academic, and residential projects throughout the Western United States, I practiced a collaborative approach emphasizing human engagement, community, and connection. With my camera, I engage buildings and topographies with this same focus: as inhabited, experiential settings within the landscape.
As a photographer of architecture, I will work with you to create connected imagery that tells the story of your building, its occupants and users, and its place within the built and natural world.
I am a commercially certified remote pilot, prepared to add drone footage to any photo or video project.
Duwamish Remains, my ongoing personal project that explores the infrastructural history and transfigured watershed of Seattle's Duwamish River, follows my interest in our constructed environments, and accompanies childhood memories of years spent on the industrialized rivers of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
