The collections
Every print previews in your own room before you buy.
Open any work on a phone and point the camera at the wall — the print appears at true scale, in your light, in the frame you picked. Or send me the room and I'll come back with two or three that fit, no charge.
The wild paid for the studio. Some of this goes back.
Ten percent of profit from every print, session, and workshop goes to ten named organisations across oceans, animals, land, mental health, and human health. Buyers can name theirs at checkout.

Not everything here is for sale. Each frame keeps its plate number, subject, place, and exposure — because the note tells you where you'd have to stand and what the light was doing.

Sessions, workshops, questions.
Everything in one place. Book a time below, reserve a workshop seat, or send a note — I answer all of it myself, usually within two business days. Based in San Luis Obispo and working up and down the California central coast, but I travel for the right project; ask and we'll sort the logistics. All rates are negotiable; the 30-minute consult is free.

Six standing topics, 8–10 seats each, $100 per person on a sliding scale — pay what the session is worth to you, and say so if that number needs to be lower. Sessions run across San Luis Obispo County and the California central coast, from the Morro Bay estuary to the Carrizo Plain.

Archived prints from 8+ years of traveling, observing, and documenting the breathtaking, limitless, and captivating nuances of natural law and order. The time has come to share, collectively appreciate, support artistry, and do our parts to protect our valuable and cherished Mother Earth. Each print is signed, with 10% of every sale going toward conservation, mental health, and progress.
I am a photographer based in San Luis Obispo, on the California central coast, working across wildlife, landscape, night sky, and the people who live close to all three. Most of my fieldwork happens between Big Sur and the Carrizo Plain — but I travel wherever the work needs me, and always have. Most of what I make begins with waiting — a week on a river bend in Katmai, four nights under a moonless sky in the Alabama Hills, an hour in a kitchen while a family forgets I am there.
The work is organised as an archive rather than a portfolio. Every frame is catalogued with its subject, place, and exposure, because the note is part of the picture. That discipline came from a natural-history habit and it has made me a better commercial photographer — clients get frames that are documented, licensable, and printable at scale.
Alongside commissions I teach small workshops, review portfolios, and print for other photographers. Ten percent of profit goes to ten organisations working on oceans, animals, land, mental health, and human health — the wild paid for this studio, and the rest of us need looking after too.
Where the work has run.
Assignments, features, awards, and exhibitions. If you're an editor or a picture desk looking for something specific, ask — most of the archive is licensable within a day.
Features, assignments, awards, and exhibitions are being pulled together and will be listed here with dates and links. Nothing goes on this page that cannot be verified.
Editors and picture desks: the archive is licensable now regardless — ask and you will have files the same week.
Licensing, usually same week.
Editorial from $350, commercial from $1,200, substantially reduced or waived for conservation groups. Usage terms written in plain language.
In their words.
Six slots waiting on real words — from collectors, portrait clients, workshop students, editors, and designers. Worked with me? I'd be glad of a line.

Ten percent, named and itemised.
Ten percent of profit from every print, session, workshop, and licence goes to ten named organisations working across oceans, animals, land, mental health, and human health. There is no fixed percentage split — where the money goes depends on the moment and the need, and that call is mine. What is fixed is the ten percent, the list, and the reporting.
Where it goes
Ten organisations · allocated at my discretion by need · reviewed each January
Ten percent of net profit, not revenue — after printing, shipping, and payment fees, before I pay myself. Calculated per order, pooled quarterly, and paid in January and July.
Total given, the actual amount to each organisation that period, and receipts. Published here and sent to anyone who bought a print that period — so a discretionary split still gets shown in full.
Buying something? Name one of the ten at checkout and your share goes there. Say nothing and I allocate it where the need is greatest that quarter. The list itself is reviewed each January and I take suggestions seriously.
