About

I’ve been lucky enough to photograph all kinds of things—from people and products to places and ideas.

Photography has given me a life and let me support my family. I’m grateful for that, and for the people I’ve met along the way—designers, editors, and passionate personalities of all kinds. Their expertise and point of view have taught me a lot, and I keep learning from every collaboration.

Travel and assignments for luxury brands and clients who care deeply about the work have shaped how I see. I look for craftsmanship, good materials, and the small details that give a place or object its character. I want my pictures to give the viewer a little of the feeling of being there.

I like to keep things focused. Design is a process of editing, and photography is, too. Sometimes one carefully planned image becomes the picture a whole campaign is built around.

My photographs have been published in more than 50 books and magazines. I studied photography at the Rochester Institute of Technology and live and work in Chicago.

My partner, Anna Knott, is a photographer, too. Together, we run Green Relish, our studio in Chicago.
