My Story
Behind LampLight Photography is a passion for creating images that feel like memories—warm, timeless, and bathed in beautiful light.
Since 2011, I’ve dedicated myself to the craft of photography, blending technical expertise with an artistic vision inspired by the golden age of film. My journey began in the darkroom, where I fell in love with the alchemy of photography—the careful balance of light and shadow, the rich tones of properly developed film, and the magic of watching an image emerge from nothing.
Today, I bring that same thoughtful approach to digital photography, creating images with the luminous quality and timeless aesthetic of film while embracing the reliability and flexibility of modern techniques.
Tailored Experience
My Approach
At LampLight Photography, every session is guided by core photographic principles—thoughtful composition, beautiful light, and authentic connection. Rather than chasing fleeting trends, I focus on creating images that will feel as relevant and beautiful decades from now as they do today.
My work is characterized by soft, luminous natural light that wraps gently around my subjects. I strive for rich, film-inspired tones that evoke nostalgia while remaining fresh and vibrant. Each frame is thoughtfully composed with meticulous attention to fine details, creating balanced images that feel both intentional and effortless. I blend candid moments with artfully directed poses, allowing genuine emotion to shine through while ensuring everyone looks their best.
Equipment & Technique
While vision matters more than gear, I use professional Canon equipment with prime lenses that deliver exceptional clarity and beautiful depth. My background in film photography influences my shooting style—deliberate, intentional, and focused on getting it right in camera.
I still maintain a darkroom and work with medium format and 35mm film for personal projects, allowing me to continually refine my eye for light, composition, and tone.
My Philosophy
I believe great photography should honor the subject authentically, presenting them in their best light while remaining true to who they are. My images are created to stand the test of time aesthetically, avoiding trendy edits that quickly date photographs. I strive to evoke genuine emotion through my work, capturing feelings that resonate years after the shutter clicks. Each session tells a meaningful story, preserving not just how things looked, but how they felt in that moment. Throughout our work together, I aim to create a seamless, professional experience that makes the entire process as enjoyable as the final images.
Above all, I treat others as I would want to be treated—with respect, attentiveness, and professionalism at every step of our journey together.
