Evolving with the technological changes over the last 40 years, he has also had the opportunity to be immersed in cultures around the world as well as draw on his experience in improving the human condition through patient oriented biomedical research.

Strobe and continuous lighting sources are also utilized in the studio and on location. He works to bring out the unique qualities found in all people and places.
