Eventually he moved into what he is most known for: Great images.

He mostly photographs musical acts, like Andrew Peterson, Ryan Starr, Bebo Norman, Rebecca St. James, Savannah, most recently Switchfoot, and many more. He has shot the cover of many CDs, magazine covers, and for MTV Execs. Read more
