ABOUT ME
My visual perspective grew out of a love of the ocean, surfing and swimming. Growing up on NY's Long Island Sound and now living in L.A.'s South Bay I have a keen appreciation for beautiful ocean, beach, and water landscapes. My interests are eclectic. Art, portraits and sports photography, especially martial arts and boxing are also near and dear to my heart.

NATIONALLY PUBLISHED
My images have been published in magazines and newspapers across the United States. In 2012, the Laguna Art Museum displayed and published my images in a catalog featuring the works of painter and sculptor Victor Hugo Zayas.

I photographed the entire process used by Mr. Zayas to transform guns into sculptures. The guns, acquired via LAPD's gun buy-back program, were transformed into powerful works of art by Mr. Zayas. His sculptures garnered world-wide media attention. Please see the published photos link for more information on this amazing project.

FEATURED PRO WITH TAMRON LENSES
In 2012 Tamron lenses began featuring me as a Pro on their website. My images were featured in Tamron's national newsletters in June, September and December of 2012. Please see the published photos section of my site for a copy of the newsletters.

PURCHASING IMAGES
Most of my work is available for purchase and/or digital download. Please see the "BUY" button on the top right of any of the galleries. Many different print sizes, framing options and canvas prints are available. I am particularly fond of the look of the metal prints where the ink is literally fused onto the metal. They look GREAT! SmugMug handles all aspects of order fulfillment for me including printing, framing, payment processing and shipping. I do not personally have access to any credit card information. All of your information, including your email address, will be kept private. All printing, framing and mounting orders are filled by a professional labs known for color accuracy and consistency.

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS:

"We loved the images Kevin created of our family and would definitely recommend his great skills and services to anyone."

Ted Lieu (CA State Senator) and Betty Lieu, Torrance, CA


"Kevin made the entire process - from the photo shoot to the delivery of the final image - incredibly easy and I'm thrilled with the results! He created the exact image I had in mind."

Jackie
Redondo Beach, CA


"Kevin is an amazing photographer. We have entrusted Kevin to memorialize some of our most important family moments and he has consistently exceeded our expectations. Kevin has the innate ability to bring out the best in surroundings and enhance those settings to present the best photographs possible."

Rita
Los Angeles, California


“Kevin's passion as a photographer is clearly evident in his work. Kevin photographed our two young children and let the camera tell their stories. The photos are fresh, alive and evoke great emotion. Lily's and Ryan's images show truth, honesty and who they are, while running and playing or in a quiet place in their own thoughts, rather than in a staged setting. The photos are refreshing and real and are the centerpiece of our home.

In addition, Kevin is an accomplished landscape photographer. His attention to light, framing and detail are impeccable and the end results are breathtaking. We have one of Kevin's beach photos in our home and it truly captures the calm and beauty of Hermosa Beach. Even on a cold and wintery day in Connecticut we can feel the sun and warmth from this photograph.”

Laurie and John
Darien, CT


“I purchased a great beach landscape of a lifeguard tower from Kevin. He is a great local photographer from (L.A.’s) south bay. I recommend him and his pictures highly!”

Leanne
Redondo Beach, CA


“I bought my husband one of Kevin’s framed and matted photographs and he LOVES the picture, and I mean LOVES it. I think this is my most successful birthday present ever and I have Kevin to thank for it. We're already arguing over where to hang it (at home or his office). Thank you so much!”

Candice
Torrance, CA


“Today I received one of Kevin’s landscapes photographed in Big Sur. I ordered a metallic print, purchased via his website and it is STUNNING! I am going to frame it and hang it over my fireplace.”
