I am a former dance photographer for the Stanford News, Stanford Lively Arts, and Stanford Dance Division. From 2008 to 2012, I worked with five dance faculty members at Stanford University and San Francisco Ballet, and have covered a variety of dance forms including ballet, modern, contemporary, vintage, social dance, and theatre.

Below is a sample of my dance photography at Stanford University. I specialize in capturing live performances. Unless otherwise noted, all photos below are taken during presentation to a live audience — not staged, not taken in rehearsals, and not edited except for cropping and color adjustments.
