Trona Pinnacles / Mojave Desert / California

Welcome to the High Desert!

I was born in California. I’ve lived in Joshua Tree for about 10 years. I have been a professional photographer for over two decades - focusing on print, magazines, video, timelapse, automotive, documentary and Milky Way photography. (Link to Bio)

I create small workshops, available to all skill levels, so you get the best hands-on training for your photography adventure.

I seek out amazing locations, so you can experience the beauty of the California Desert - and Iceland - firsthand.

Hope to see you soon.
