Photographer, visual storyteller and printmaker in West Monroe, Louisiana.
I photograph wildlife and nature, as well as portraits, editorial and commercial work, but I keep coming back to the natural world: the birds of Louisiana, how they behave, and the cypress swamps and rookeries they call home.
My approach is patience and observation. The strongest photographs do more than record a subject; they give you a reason to stop and look closer. That's the moment I wait for, often for hours in the same marsh, until the light and the bird line up.
Printing came first. In 2008 I founded LOKTAH Photo Lab here in West Monroe, printing for professional photographers and designing natural, eco-friendly packaging for photographers and videographers. Nineteen years in professional labs taught me colour management, papers and fine art reproduction, and that a photograph isn't finished until it's printed well.
So I still make every paper print myself, with an artist's eye and a printer's care. My philosophy is simple: pay attention, respect the subject, and let the photograph speak for itself.
A few favourites from the collection. Every one is available as a print.
Every print is made to order, not pulled from a stack. Here’s what happens after you choose one.
The same lab experience and archival materials behind my own prints, for your artwork and photographs.
Museum-quality giclée prints of your paintings, drawings and artwork, for artists who want prints that match the original.
Old, faded and damaged family photographs, repaired by hand and returned ready to print.
