I am a visual artist specializing in urban night photography and light painting.

My craft is making photos of my light painting strokes in urban environments.  I use various camera exposure duration to illuminate objects and locations, capturing the essence of time within a singular photographic frame. Treating the setting as a dimly lit stage, I utilize theatrical and cinematic techniques to masterfully shape the composition, evoke mood, and guide the viewer's gaze.  My strokes of augmented colored light becomes a performance as I dance my orchestrated layers of light through a scene while drawing and painting objects to build my composition.  At times, I use existing light sources and trails to complement the scene.   The shutter closes and freezes the movements and light strokes within a single long exposure. 

My creative energy is ignited by the expansive realms of inter dimensional travel depicted in science fiction. Through the medium of light-painted orbs, I encapsulate the essence of creativity, crafting symbolic gateways to uncharted dimensions. Abandoned spaces serve as ideal backdrops, facilitating portals into inter dimensional exploration. Each orb is meticulously craft extends an invitation to transcend reality, unraveling mysteries with every stroke of light.

My photos celebrate a unique look on old places.  The plot of my night photos is mostly of places we are accustomed to seeing in daylight. My favorite places are abandoned spaces. The final prints on canvas, metal or glass bring out the vibrancy of ambient and light painting within these nocturnal scenes.

My award winning and published photographs have been featured in exhibitions in various cities and are part of several private collections around the world.  I currently live and practice my craft in Boston, Massachusetts.
