Visual Storyteller / Film Maker
CurrentI am an award winning publication photographer/film-maker based in Providence, Rhode Island. One editor described me as a “...specialist in intercultural communication and visual narratives that excel in their creative mastery of light, shadow and sound, stills and video."Best Short Film - Melrose Film Festival, Orlando, FL, Official Selection, 2019Best New England Documentary Short - S.E.

Over the years I have worked on assignments for such magazines as Fortune, Life, National Geographic, Newsweek, The Sunday New York Times, Time, etc. I have also worked for corporations such as Consolidated Natural Gas and DuPont as well as for non-profits such as the Ford Foundation and the New Israel Fund. My photo-essays have been funded by fellowships from Nikon/NPPA, the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts, the MacArthur Foundation's Program of Research and Writing on International Peace and Cooperation, the Alicia Patterson Foundation and the Fulbright Foundation. My project on the pesticide poisoning of California farmworkers was nominated for a Pulitzer Prize by the Philadelphia Inquirer.
