Photographer

I am a writer, producer, designer, and editor with over 20 years of experience. I produce award-nominated podcasts and short series fiction, and edit a handful of hand-picked shows.

The majority of my craft was learned on the job, working for LGBTQ media in Washington D.C. At the Washington Blade, I learned layout and taught myself how to edit video and hold a camera. At Metro Weekly, I learned photography and decided to start my first podcast.

I can produce anything—digital or print—that you or your brand needs.

Who Digs It

Aram has provided both video and photography services for our productions that are designed for an audience of young children. He was able to capture the joy and whimsy of our work in a way that is unparalleled. To this day, some of my favorite images from our productions are ones that Aram photographed. He was instrumental in our growth as a company and truly helped us put forth a professional image to both funders and patrons. I highly recommend him and his work!
