What inspired you to become a photographer/videographer?

Photography offers an invitation to see more of the world and to look deeply at looking.

What is your photography style?

Put eco in front of everything I do.

How did you get to where you are now?

I listen to my art. Without my art, I would have lived a very different life and become a very different person.

Why is color management important to your workflow?

Just as smell makes its way directly to the brain, color goes straight to the heart. I live and breathe the language of color, which is the language of the soul. I don’t want a color that’s kind of red, I want a very specific red, sometimes blood, other times carmine, crimson, cinnabar, russet, or vermillion. I know what I want, and I want tools that help me get there. Color management is essential for being able to make color adjustments and create color relationships that are precise and nuanced and to preserving those colors as.

What are your favorite brands you have worked with?

I couldn’t do what I do today without Adobe and Epson I’m grateful to continue consulting with both for over twenty five years as they develop tools that help so many other people. I couldn’t do what I do with either as easily or as well without Calibrite.

What would you say is your greatest achievement to this day?

I measure my success by the positive contributions I make to other people’s lives; family, students, colleagues, companies, institutions, and many others, some of whom I still don’t and probably never will know about.

What is an interesting fact about yourself?

A visual artist, my practices in other creative disciplines enriches my photography – painting, sculpture, music, writing.

What is a top tip for people who aspire to do what you do?

First, don’t do what I do – do you.
Second, to live your best life, you have to be as creative with your business as you are with your art. Your art is your life; your life is your art.
