OBSIDIAN was weaved together somewhere in the Green Mountains of Vermont but has meandered across the globe. Living an open road is all about authenticity and adventure, about taking inspiration from the novel and unknown. That is how I approach my brand.

Due to my natural inclination to wander, explore, and seek stories, I tend to approach photography with an authentic, on-location, lifestyle feel. I like my subjects to be in their natural environment whether it's an adventurous portrait session, product shoot or a motorcycle at top speed.

This industry relies heavily on batch editing with presets. I could do that - I could come up with a set of 5 presets that I slap on every photoshoot, tweaking it a little bit to adjust for light - but I don’t.

In looking at my portfolio you might even think it's a collective of different photographers, because instead of sticking to a quick formula, I approach each photoshoot as a unique collection. I take the time to develop a preset for each shoot and then edit each image individually. I let the natural culmination of colors, atmosphere, light and subject dictate the style of the editing. Each shoot is unique and it deserves to be treated as such.  

I work with my clients so that the editing reflects their vision. As far as I’m concerned, the raw files are just that - raw materials - and the editing is where things can really come to life.
