submerged – under water photos

recent landscape work
I love landscape photography. The way the light changes every 30 seconds and the way waiting always seems to have a big payoff in some undiscovered color or light reflection. To me being outside at the golden hour is like being in god's photo studio. I'm lucky that I'm seeing more demand from clients for my landscape work, here are →
Truluck’s
I recently worked with Crush Advertising on a series of shoots for Truluck's restaurant. Based out of Florida, Truluck's has their own fisheries in Naples, Florida on the Isle of Capri, so when the Florida Stone Crab hits the tables at any of their restaurants is super fresh. Amazing seafood. Check them out the next time you're at one of their 10 →
