Commercial, Fine Art, Travel

This is the home of my photographic endeavors. I love to travel and capture a wide range of images, including fine art, landscapes and portraiture, to illustrate and highlight each place’s unique qualities. I’m also available for commercial commission assignments, including professional business photography, food photography and more. If you’re interested in hiring me for commercial work, portraiture or stock images, please contact me at info@bmmimages.com for pricing and scheduling.

I’ve been interested in photography for nearly my entire life. I got my first real camera in high school, a Canon T-50, and spent a year playing with black and white shooting and development.

Over 20 years ago, I was hired as a magazine editor, which spurred me to pick up the old T-50 and begin my slide film adventures. I’ve moved from slide to all digital, but in that time, I’ve managed to score dozens of magazine covers in national trade magazines.

I aim to capture the unique, the odd and the fascinating, all while exploring light, time and motion.

Away I go!

Keeping a list and checking it twice of places on the globe that I aim to shoot … with a camera, of course. 

I’ll keep updating this as I go, checking them off whenever possible and adding new places that pop into my consciousness. Always listening and watching to travel programs, so I’m excited to hear about new places off the beaten path.

Got a comment, suggestion or tip? Please drop me a note. I’d love to hear from you!
