About ME

Photography is part of my identity and has been since I first picked up a camera many years ago. Photography is the oxygen that allows my creativity to breathe. Photography allows me to capture the rhythms of life and share special moments with others. Photography is at the intersection of the ephemeral and the timeless and that’s what makes it magical.

My subjects are eclectic, ranging from landscape to city-scape to action to whimsy. In recent years I’ve gravitated to documentary and street photography. I’ve traveled widely and this has helped me refine my technique. Throughout my journeys my camera has been a faithful companion, often serving as a bridge to form new friendships and explore new perspectives.

I graduated from the UCLA Art and Design program with a certificate in Photography in 2021. I recommend the program for any photographer, whether beginner, enthusiast or professional. I’m a member of the National Press Photographers Association and the American Society of Media Photographers.

I've developed a personal set of values which I use as guideposts in my work: Stay Real, Stay Respectful, Stay Ready and Stay Curious. I respect personal limits, so I neither invade nor plunder the personal space of others. I'm often on the go, so I'm always prepared to capture any moment, in the moment. Above all, I actively seek interesting and refreshing ways to look at people, places and things.

This website is designed as a virtual gallery, allowing me to share what I have seen and captured over several decades of active photography. I’d love to hear your feedback on this website and my work—please fill out the form below or send an email to cr@studiorex.net .
