About

I'm a Live Music and Portrait Photographer, & the Founder and Editor of Veusik Music Publication. I use photography to encapsulate specific moments in time; moments that will eventually become blurred memories. Taking a photo allows a split second to be viewed by others and become a memory that does not fade away with time, but instead can be re-lived in the years to come. In my teens, I traveled from state to state watching my favorite bands perform. I’ve made lifelong friends all over the country because of my many adolescent excursions. I bought my first camera in 2010, and I couldn’t wait to start documenting the unique energy that the performers and crowds create. Photographing shows and tours has become a passion that will never die. I also enjoy taking pictures of people. When creating portraits I strive document the true essence of an individual. Portraits are so interesting because I can capture so much emotion and personality that with one simple photograph I am able to create a narrative. There is a great power in choosing which moment will live on forever in a photograph.
