The Scintillating Lens

12/16/2025

This past weekend was my first show that I've been able to capture in half a year. It felt so nice to get in the pit and immortalize these moments.

The challenges of this year have been immense, but this was a strong finish.
Let's get 26' to be amazing, and capture some fantastic images. I've plenty of booking available. Inquire for more info and dates.

I am sorry for the lack of updates on my page. This year has been rough, but has started to ease up.
I hope that every one of you is well, and feeling dang "electric!"
Here's a shot that I am super proud of capturing. My personal page saw it first, but I love it and want everyone to see.
I will get to sharing images from work that I have accomplished this year.
Love y'all,

Hey! It has been a hot minute, but I wanted to chime in and share a post that one of my best friends made for me. She's awesome! Check her page and the awesome stuff she does; as well as, look into her fund raisers that have been helping people in our area whom were affected by the hurricane.
Also, what are some shots of mine that you all would want to see? Some recent landscapes, music, etc.?

Good morning everyone! Today's shout out goes to Dustin Goff from The Scintillating Lens. Dustin has been a long term in person friend of mine, and one of my biggest supporters in life, with my page, and with my book. Everyone, a round of applause for Dustin!

1. What made you decide to pursue photography?

I've always had a draw to the medium. I loved playing with old cameras as a kid, and when I was financially able to, I decided to take the first steps in investing in the gear.

2. How long have you been a photographer for?

I've always had a camera of some sort in my hand or possession, since I was a small kid. Though, in my current state, I've been doing it for right at four years.

3. What is your favorite subject to photograph?

That is quite a difficult question. It really changes, a lot. Though, constants will always be creative portraits, many types of action (such as live music), and nature. I have enjoyed getting to do more of a studio setup lately. Playing with all the lighting can be quite fun and lead to great shots.

4. What is your biggest obstacle as a photographer?

Sometimes, the imposter syndrome can be all too real. I can be my own worst enemy. Besides that, the networking and marketing are always a constant battle.

5. Anything about you or The Scintillating Lens that you'd like to share?

If you have a dream, go for it. Let it grow. Go through the pains of figuring out what works and what doesn't. You may need to change some parts, but if you really put yourself into it, you can grow it. It will take time, lots of time.
Also, don't allow people to dull the spark you have for something. I did, for years...and I hate that I took so long to really let myself grow into the artist and person that I wanted.

I hope that everyone has had a wonderful beginning to the new year.
Things have still been on the rocky side, hence the lack of posts on my social media accounts.

That being said, I got to cap off last year with a fun show. Here are a couple of shots from Gideon's set at Capone's.

"I built this with my own two hands"

Teenage me was having as much fun getting to see Across Five Aprils again, as present me was covering their set.

Hey all. The past handful of weeks have been quite tough. Thanks, for pushing through with me. I've started to get caught up on life. Here are a few shots from The Undertaking's set at Capone's.
I'll be getting you all a few more views of my recent works, soon.

For those that knew, thank you. I've been behind. I had a family emergency to tend to, over the past week and a half. I'm slowly, but surely getting caught up.

Here's a sneak of the set I captured for Sidious

Don't feel blue, here are some more shots from Weight Shift's set at Static Age.

This weekend was a blast.
I got to be an extra in a music video, and I got to shoot a set for the awesome dudes of Weight Shift.
It was my first time to Asheville's Static Age Records. It is a great little shop/venue.

I had a little late night creative self-portrait session.
I wanted to throw a few shots together to show awareness to how anxiety and depression can feel in an ADHD mind. The constant thinking and feeling like living a hundred lives at the same time, to the paralysis of doing a simple task. The strain of a world not built for this way of processing and having to navigate it. Though, there's beauty in it. It is me, and I love thinking of things differently...and finding beauty everywhere.

The Blue Hole is always a treat to see.

Last week, I upgraded my primary body to the new Z6III. While I still am learning and adjusting things, all I can say is 'wow.' The upgrade was worth it, and it will help me to more easily create the visions of my work. Below are a few examples of what I had the pleasure to shoot since receiving it. Take a look, and if you have any questions, shoot me a message.
