You’re Who, Now?

I am a photographer in Chicago, IL, USA. I grew up on Long Island, just outside of New York City. I attended the University of Rochester in Rochester, NY, from which I graduated in 1994 with a BA in Studio Art (my work was a blend of photography and sculpture). I then went to the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, MA, from which I earned a Master of Fine Arts degree in 2001. I then moved to Chicago, IL, and have been working as a freelance photographer ever since.

Most of my work has been photographing works of art for artists, galleries, etc. I had started doing this kind of work while in graduate school, first photographing my own sculptural things, and then helping my colleagues photograph theirs. Eventually I had to start charging for my time, and things started to snowball. When we moved to Chicago, it made sense to continue in that line of work, which continues to occupy much of my time, though I am now interested in broadening the scope of my photography.

In 2004 my wife and I started renovating our kitchen, doing all the work ourselves.  It’s finally done.  Sort of.
