I have the great pleasure of being a professional photographer. I spend most of my time photographing golf courses, but fine art landscapes and travel photography are growing parts of my creative and business model.  I live in  Atlanta, Georgia, and travel across the USA and around the world, doing this work that I love.   

I am a preferred golf course photographer for Troon Golf, the largest golf management company in the world, and also for Marriott Golf.  Along with working with these organizations, much of my work comes thru recommendations of many golf course architects, who recommend me to their clients, as well as working directly with clubs who have seen my work and liked it. I've photographed golf courses that host major USGA and PGA Tour events, as well as an ever-growing list of the world’s top resort courses, top public courses and exclusive private clubs.

I truly love photographing golf courses.  I love the game, the landscapes and the relationships I’ve developed throughout the industry.  And I enjoy sharing these images with members or golfers who have spent time on these great properties, or have seen them on TV and want to have my photos on their wall to enjoy every day.

Everything about this work is a joy.  Golf is the most visual of sports, played on some of the world’s most beautiful landscapes, so having a great library of quality images is important to an owner,  manager or marketing team.  These beautiful landscapes only exist because of the collaborative efforts of owners with vision; designers who illuminate and expand upon that vision; dedicated superintendents; golf professionals; and committed management teams. I have great respect for all these groups, and I work to express that respect and to honor their efforts by producing the best images I can for each golf course I photograph.

I'm fortunate to have received generous support from golf industry insiders, and to have photographed some of the finest golf courses on the planet.  Many of the photographs you'll find on this site are of golf courses that host PGA and USGA events.  Courses like Crooked Stick Golf Club, Kapalua's Plantation Course and East Lake Golf Club, home of The PGA Tour Championship.  Many others are exclusive, private golf clubs that most people will never see in person or on TV.  And though this collection includes photographs of some courses that are not well known, all the images on this site are my best.  I hope you enjoy seeing them, and perhaps you'll find a place for one or two of them in your home or office!

If you love golf... if you love photography... I'm glad you've found this site, and I hope you enjoy your stay.
