My Other Work

This summer, I took a road trip from Orange County to California’s northern border—a two-week adventure filled with incredible sights and experiences. I used this journey as an opportunity to document the moments along the way and capture the story of the trip. These images represent just a small selection from the hundreds (if not thousands) of photos I created during that time.

I partnered with 2 other filmmakers to create and produce this short advertisement for local lawn and garden business B&M.

A young man in his mid-twenties is packing up for a life change when he receives a mysterious call. What begins as a surreal daydream transports him to California's coast, city, and mountains, where he navigates strange encounters and challenges. Initially captivated by California’s beauty, Robert’s journey gradually reveals the harsh realities of urban life and the cost of independence.

I love bringing my camera along to capture moments that tell a story and evoke emotion. Photographing Disneyland's Paint the Night Parade was an unforgettable experience—it allowed me to refine my night photography skills while showcasing the vibrant energy and awe the show inspires in its audience.
