I’ve been fortunate to join @lightforgeproductions these past few years to capture student lifestyle stills for @lifeatpurdue
Working with real students forces you to move fast to capture what we need within their available window while traveling on foot cross campus. This leads to a fun challenge to not only keep EQ light but to quickly block and compose shots to fit the location and number of talent.
Quick lighting and prop test.

Happy New Year everyone!
2025 has been a year of unexpected turns. Everything felt like a rollercoaster; fast, a little scary, but overall, filled with fun and excitement.
A few notables: I shot my biggest project ever this year, bought a van, moved homes, turned 25 (and began the great journey of existential crisis and frontal lobe development), landed on my first billboard, rode a hot air balloon, got diagnosed with alpha-gal syndrome (🖕🏼ticks), started training Muay Thai, bought a bucket list camera, and created many new memories with old and new friends.
I look forward to 2026 with an open mind and excitement to set my sights on friends, community, momentum, creativity, story telling, and self discovery.
Personal Project for @rettasscoops pt.2
Desserts, ice cream, and alcohol. All the things worth living for.
This past summer I was greeted with a new neighbor. Rettas opened, dangerously and literally, across the street from my home. When I first visited during their soft open I instantly connected with the vision that Ben curated. Expert creative experimentation served to you in the form of precisely crafted desserts and cocktails.
