“Bridging the Cosmos”

“I've worked as a commercial photographer based out of Nevada County for five years. Photographing under the stars allows me to feel more grounded in myself, and connected to the land I inhabit by witnessing the landscape in a new light. This shot was captured at Hoyt's Crossing in April 2024.”

“Faucherie Small Island, 2019”

“Faucherie Lake, a small island nestled within the lake. The idea of these works is to light a landscape in the darkness of night by utilizing studio lighting techniques, revealing all at once the passing of time and the solitude of landscape subjects within their natural surroundings.”

“In Your Dreams”

“The Neowise Comet dazzles over Hirschman Pond, accompanied by a streaking shooting star and the blurred lights of a passing car, all under a breathtaking dark night sky.”

”Hoyt's Crossing”

“Shot from a lookout above the famous Hoyt's Crossing and the South Yuba River. A beautiful night scene at Nevada County's most popular swimming hole. The raging river was lit by flashlight.”
