Visual Stories
Some images become favorites. Maybe it’s the color, the emotional response, the memory of the day I captured the photo. Sometimes I know what makes the image special, other times it doesn’t matter.

Hiring A Photographer
Just like you, I want to be hired by clients who like my style and can afford my prices. Hiring a photographer is a bit like commissioning an artist to create a work of art for your home. You wouldn't hire an abstract artist for a painting if you are into realism and...
Self Portrait: A Muted Palette
As an artist, I pay particular attention to the work of other artists, noting what appeals to me. The past few weeks, I have been most drawn to muted palettes and monochromatic landscape images and self portrait. I was then curious how subtle contrast would look in...

Magnificent Men Project: Paul Gyodo Agostinelli
