Photography

I produce a variety of documentary photography covering events, as well as artistic photography which has been licensed by clients to promote their brands. Examples of these images appear on my official gallery at forzandoArts and on my Flickr photostream. Please also visit the Northwestern University Bands official gallery to see more of my work.

The Smithsonian Institution has licensed my photographs featuring the Battle of the Monon Bell football rivalry between DePauw University and Wabash College for the Hometown Teams exhibit, which will run from 2014 to 2021. The exhibit explores how communities coalesce around their local athletes.
