I'm a cocktail photographer from New York City and this will be my first Tales of the Cocktail. I had the distinct honor of working with Jack McGarry, Sean Muldoon and Ben Schaffer on "The Dead Rabbit Drinks Manual", which is up for a Spirited Award this year.

I've have the pleasure of working with some of New York's most creative bartenders, as well as helping many different brands, such as Belvedere, Ketel One, Smirnoff, Baileys and Patron, tell their stories through photography used in advertising, editorial and packaging.

Let's connect if you're looking for someone to help tell your story, or if you just want to say hello!

Looking forward to meeting you all.
