Bio

I am an Award-Winning Fine art photographer,specialising in the wet plate collodion process and Large-format & Ultra large-format film photography. Based in NY, I collect, restore, redesign, and build antique wooden cameras. I am currently the only known photographer to own both an 8×20-inch and an 11×28-inch panoramic Deardorff studio camera. I also designed and built the world's only 8×20-inch and 11x28-inch ultra-large-format 3D Deardorff studio camera. My first major body of work, Zen-Organic Photography For The Digital Age consists of twenty black and white photographs created with a 95 year old antique Deardorff studio camera. Fewer than 350 of these cameras were ever manufactured. The camera itself weighs 45 pounds, while its original studio stand weighs approximately 350 pounds. The first 8 Works from this series have received international recognition through multiple photography awards and juried competitions, including honors from the International Photography Awards, the New York Photography Awards, and the One Eyeland Photography Awards: 1st place in the 2026 IPA Awards Professional Analog/Film Fine Art (2026) Official Selection in the 2026 IPA Awards Professional film fine art (2026) Best of show 2026 IPA (2026) Jury Top 5 Selection in the 2026 IPA Awards Professional film Fine Art (2026) 7th The Chelsea International photography competition (2026) Official Selection in the 2025 IPA Awards Professional (2025) Honorable Mention 2025 IPA Awards Professional (2025) 2025 HONORABLE MENTION PROFESSIONAL (2025) IPA 2025 Official Selection Professional film (2025) ONE EYELAND PHOTOGRAPHY AWARDS 2024 Finalist (2024) IPA 2023 OFFICIAL SELECTION PROFESSIONAL (2023) 2023 HONORABLE MENTION PROFESSIONAL (2023)
