About me

Frustrated by the steep learning curve in other creative arts, I was naturally drawn to photography at a young age. The ability to capture significant moments instantly made it my primary outlet for creative expression.

I believe the most impactful photography goes beyond composition, lighting, and subject matter - it stirs emotion, tells a story, and creates a lasting connection with the viewer.

Fueled by curiosity and a sense of adventure, I aim to create images that invite viewers on a journey, tell a compelling story, and transport them to an unfamiliar place.

Beyond photography, I love spending time outdoors - hiking Vermont’s forests, or nurturing a needy garden.

I’d love to connect! Feel free to reach out with questions, comments, or just to say hello.

What others are saying about my work

  • Kevin Painchaud - Pulitzer prize-winning photographer

    “Your work is amazing ……. True art.”


  • Ed Wedman, Co-Founder of Exhibitions Without Walls

    “It’s not very often that I review a photographer’s work and consistently find myself being taken back to a memory of mine or to an emotion that the image immediately elicits. That is in itself a great talent. His use of contrast, both in black and white as well as color, is well developed and certainly attests to his photographic skill.”

  • - peer photographer

    “I've always thought that the most "successful" images are ones that make ample room for the viewer to add to the story, to participate in it. This, to my way of thinking, is just such an image.

    Thank you Alan for bringing this one to life. “

  • - peer photographer

    “For me it is these tiny moments that are so special, magical, and ephemeral.

    While most marvel at the grand and grotesque the true gift of wonder comes from these moments of utter beauty that are given without fanfare.

    Alan your eye for the sublime simplicity of life is truly inspiring. “

    “Soooo... there are so many people posting amazing work on this site but in all seriousness Alan - very few are "artists" nor do they have distinct work that is so identifiable. You are an artist as is evident in images like this. This is so beautiful!”
