Ingredient 17

Photography – Nashville

I unknowingly stole my first camera at 4 years old from my babysitter by putting it in my moms purse. After the memorable spanking and years of therapy, I remember getting my first camera on my 7th birthday. I've pretty much been addicted since. I got my first professional photography job in the mid 90s with a music paper in Washington DC shooting acts like NIN, No Doubt, and Black Crows to name a few. I moved into publicity working for Fifth Colvmn Records and managing tours for 21st Circuitry and Metropolis Records. Somehow I ended up contracting as a Graphic Designer. My clients range from the Department of Defense to high profile IT companies. I'm extremely fortunate, however, sometimes the sound of corporate suits explaining color theory to me, makes me want to stab myself in the brain. Photography brings be back to a place where I can fully immerse myself in creativity and move beyond any boundaries.
