"You don't take a picture, you make it."
 -Ansel Adams

​Welcome to Optimum Photography.  
My passion is photographing Architecture and Interior spaces; whether retail, residential, industrial or commercial.  I have a BFA in Photography from the Ohio University School of Visual Communication and studied under the master Arnold Gassan, and further with my friend and mentor Glen Calvin Moon; one of Michigan's premier architectural photographers.
​Photography is not just something I do. There is literally nothing else I would rather do.
