Originally from New York City, I graduated from Rutgers University, NJ with a degree in Theater and Cinema. I then lived in Hollywood, CA for 20 years acting professionally in film & T.V. Simultaneously, I wrote and directed award winning indie films that were distributed globally, produced and directed for MTV Networks, created and edited commercial branded content with ad agency giant Ogilvy and more. Since becoming a father, I began teaching actors the craft and become a full time Photography student. At the end of 2020 I graduated from the UCLA Photography Certificate Program and relocated to Melbourne Australia. I continue to teach Actors and have steadily been photographing portraits of all kinds from actor headshots, conceptual art pieces, models and fashion, boudoir, commercial, products, lifestyle, and weddings. As a storyteller, I want to showcase people at their best, worst, and most memorable. I’ve been telling stories my entire life. I’d like to tell your story too. My Melbourne photography and acting studio is The Hollywood Actor Lab in Collingwood.
