About

Welcome to Dark Empire Photo, where black-and-white portraiture meets raw emotion, street grit, and artistic edge.

 

I specialize in portrait, lifestyle, creative, urban/street, editorial, and content creator/influencer projects. Occasionally, you’ll catch a bit of Star Wars flair woven in,  because what fun is life without a little dark side?

​

I’m a primarily black-and-white portrait addict with over a decade behind the lens. My passion is capturing unfiltered moments that tell real stories, highlight the human condition, and evoke genuine emotion. My work lives at the intersection of attitude and authenticity — where emotion, art, and the rawness of the street collide.

​

I shoot exclusively with Sony gear, pushing for sharp, evocative images that spotlight people at their most real — or their most fanciful. What matters most is authenticity: capturing who you are or who you dream of being.

​

All of my projects are TFP (Time for Print) collaborations because for me, it’s about the art — not the paycheck. I’m passionate about working with models of all experience levels, whether you’re brand new to the camera or a seasoned pro. The key is energy, vibe, and a shared vision to create something bold and unforgettable.

​

If you’re looking to add depth to your portfolio, try something fearless, or just want to experiment with black-and-white magic (I'm happy to sprinkle color in sometimes especially if it's for a retro look), let’s connect. Genres I shoot include art, editorial, fashion, lifestyle, fitness, glamour, and more. Every shoot is a collaboration — and every collaboration is a chance to create work we’re both proud of.
