Day Job: Electrical Engineer

          Photography became a passion through my love of traveling. Seeing the world has always been a high priority and naturally I started using photography as a way to record memorable travel moments. In 2008 I developed serious interest in the art of photography while spending a semester abroad in Europe. I returned home with 10,000 photos and curiosity to learn the finer details of photography. 

          At this point I started taking photos simply for the joy of taking photos. It served as a creative outlet from the purely analytical electrical engineering classes I was enrolled in. I dedicated spare time to learning about the creative and technical aspects of photography and experimented with new digital techniques like HDR

          During senior year I started displaying work in public, first on the campus of Lafayette College, then at a gallery in downtown Easton, PA. With the encouragement of the Lafayette and Easton community I continued on to do multiple shows throughout the years and expand my body of work.

 

Photography : Engineered 

 

          With an educational background in electrical engineering my approach to photography is often very scientific. I am fascinated by the technology behind the camera and enjoy exploring how the 1’s and 0’s of the computer world can be used in creativity ways. Through the use of the latest digital techniques I strive to operate at the point where art and technology intersect.
