I am a landscape photographer based in the Southwest USA, working primarily with digital medium-format technical camera systems. Growing up in Southern Utah, I've developed a deep connection to being outdoors. Through my adult life, this connection has continued to expand while exploring my home state and the Intermountain West. Photography has been a consistent interest throughout my adult life, initially as a hobby, before becoming a more serious pursuit around 2023.
That shift coincided with my work photographing and printing oil paintings for archival fine art prints, collaborating closely with my friend and oil painter Matt Pectol to help run his print business. Through this work, I gained over two years of experience in color-accurate artwork photography, color management, and print preparation, while forming lasting relationships with many local artists. This experience greatly expanded my appreciation for art as a whole and for the creative communities built around making and sharing it.
In my own photographic work, I strive to capture moments where color, light, shape, and atmospheric phenomena come together in an ever-changing landscape. I am passionate about photography and printing as a means of honestly recording what I experience in the field, while allowing room for artistic interpretation in post-processing to convey the emotional response of being present in those moments. My photography was selected by jury for the 2026 Sears Art Museum Invitational.
Technically, I work with a slow, deliberate process using the aforementioned technical camera system that allows for perspective correction and multi-row, flat-shifted image capture. This approach enables me to expand the field of view while significantly increasing resolution, resulting in images that can be printed at very large scales without sacrificing detail, and without relying on upscaling or AI. Many of my photographs exceed 300 megapixels! The method I use requires the use of specialized camera equipment, including a Medium Format Digital Back, a Technical camera body, and specialized lenses with very low distortion and very large image circles. I’m drawn to the contemplative pace this method requires, and to the distinct sense of presence and proportion it brings to the final images.
