It all started when I was born

Hey! I’m Seth. I have a lovely wife and two doggos. I was born in Santa Barbara county, California.

I’ve fond memories of spending late nights watching Japanese animation. This was my first foray into art, storytelling, and vision.

I was enthralled.

Themes represented in the medium – such as growth through adversity, hard work, and relational bonds help set a tone for the stories I seek to tell today.

Passion Born in Sunset Gold

There was a moment in time where the wind softly blew through the trees in our neighborhood. The the sun was setting, but remained just high enough to get a golden cast over the entire atmosphere. Rays of light were streaking through the branches of a neighbor’s tree. Everything was calm and warm; I felt connected to my environment in a way I’d never felt before. That sense of connection, respite, and envelopment is a foundational pillar for how I look at the world today.

Bringing Life to Environments

I believe that the built environment is more than just structures; it’s a canvas waiting to be animated by life. Incorporating homeowners, architects, designers, or families into my photographs infuses vitality and soul into the spaces I capture.

Bringing Life to Environments

A Global Perspective

While my roots are planted in California soil, my lens extends far beyond its borders. In the words of Chris Burkard’s instagram bio:

“Have Camera, Will Travel”

From the bustling streets of Japan to the rich landscapes of Mexico, I embrace the opportunity to capture a designed reality founded upon the essence of environments and their interactions with life.
