Hire
Pittsburgh documentary photographer for hire.
I'm a documentary photographer in Pittsburgh. I shoot concerts, events, portraits, pets, and news: loud rooms, big crowds, and life in motion.
Not taking weddings.
What I shoot
Concerts & music
Live shows, festivals, and band press photos. Low light, fast action, and clean files for promo and social.
Events
Corporate, nonprofit, community, and private events. Candid coverage that tells the story of the night.
Headshots & portraits
Profile photos for clinicians, small-business owners, creatives, and teams. Quick, relaxed sessions.
Pet portraits
Sharp, characterful portraits of your cat, dog, or other animal, at home or outdoors.
Editorial & news
Assignments for local publications, newsrooms, and organizations. Fast turnaround with clear captions.
Small business & product
Clean product and brand photos for shops, makers, and local businesses.
