VARÓN, a U.K.-based magazine, likened this portrait of a Saluki to the work of Richard Avedon.
Artist Bio.
Brooklyn-born, San Francisco-seasoned, now creating artistic, minimalist portraits of dogs in Sacramento. My journey began unexpectedly in the late '90s when I opened a promotional mailer featuring a photo of a pug by Amanda Jones, renowned dog photographer. That image stayed with me through a career transition, eventually leading me to pursue photography and become Amanda's assistant, where I learned the art of studio photography.
I've been photographing dogs since 2000. My minimalist style highlights what you love most about your dog—their endearing expressions, joyful demeanor, or that distinctive look that's purely them. This is truly a labor of love for me.
As a lifelong dog lover and devoted pug mom (Buddy is my fifth), I bring genuine connection to every portrait. My second pug, Bogie, was my greatest muse while learning photography. If my approach to dog portraiture resonates with you, let's connect.
