Visual Narrative, Process, and Practice
This blog is a place to share ideas, lessons, and observations gathered over more than three decades of working in photography, video, and visual storytelling. It reflects how I think about narrative, craft, collaboration, and the role visual media plays in helping people and organizations communicate with clarity and purpose.
I approach visual storytelling as an evolving practice. Each project, collaboration, and challenge adds to how I see the world and how I help others tell their stories. This blog is part of that ongoing process, a place to reflect, refine ideas, and share what I continue to learn through real-world work.
You’ll find writing here on photography, video production, narrative structure, creative process, and the practical realities of working with clients and teams. Some posts are instructional, others reflective, but all are rooted in experience and an ongoing commitment to doing thoughtful, honest work.
Rooted in Story: Photographing Regina of Arboreal Solutions
A portrait session with Regina Costa of Arboreal Solutions reminded me why I love environmental photography. I met Regina at a local farmer’s market and was immediately drawn to her passion for tree care. We reconnected for a simple, on site portrait session where I photographed her in the environment that defines her work. This blog shares the story, the process, and why environmental portraits connect so deeply with small business storytelling.
