Photography – Sacramento

When I say Light Painting saved my life, it’s not an exaggeration. I had a high pressure job as an investment advisor, depressed, addicted, and unfulfilled. Add in a major court battle that would cost my wife and I our life savings to fight, I was nearly at the end of my rope, a feeling that I never want to feel again. Then, I was introduced to light painting by my good friend, Fred! We both share a passion for photography and he had a bunch of different tools to use and from that day I haven't looked back. In fact, I paint every night, and last year took over 300,000 photos of light paintings! Now 5 years + sober, a beautiful wife and daughter, Light Painting took me from a deep dark place and spun me 180 degrees into the light. I now host live classes to teach people how to light paint with my good friend, Fred. I also started a website thejourneyfromdarkness.com to help artists start with the best tools to paint from the get-go. I feel I have an obligation to help grow this amazing artform. I hope that my art can inspire someone out there to live their life to the fullest, try something new, or find hope that they, too, can get out of whatever darkness they may be in.
