Expertise Behind the Lens
Photography found me early, through someone who saw the world a certain way my grandfather, a fashion photographer. What started as landscape shots on my phone became something I saved up for and made my own. I still shoot with that same eye today: personal, natural, and always looking for the moment that's actually real.

Client Reviews
“DJ, you are genuinely one of the best photographers I’ve had the pleasure of working with throughout my eight years of modeling. From the very first time we met, you were so patient, gentle, open-minded, and welcoming. I genuinely felt like I was just kicking it with one of my homies, and that level of comfort allows me to truly be myself and bring raw emotion into the photos we create
This most recent shoot was by far one of my favorite shoots I’ve ever done, and I’m so thankful and honored that I got to share that moment with you. Your eye, editing, attention to detail, and response time are all amazing. You’re not only incredibly talented, but also such a great person to work with! I pray we can continue building this business relationship, creating amazing work, and helping each other grow within our careers”
-Victoria .V“As a model and photographer myself, his camera set up threw me off the first time I worked with him to be honest. But when I saw the results afterwards, I said “these are genuinely incredible!”
The more I got to work with him and the more I got to know him better, I came to realize he’s one of the best photographers in Connecticut. He’s reliable, very smart, very detailed, very kind, always on time, always works hard, never seen one bad photo from him and he’s always willing to be experimental!
I’ve worked with many talented photographers in Connecticut, but DJ is definitely in top 5 and I would recommend to anybody! ”
— Jabril .S“Working with DJ was honestly such a great experience from start to finish! You can tell right away that he genuinely cares about his craft and isn’t just there to take pictures and call it a day.
He made the whole shoot feel comfortable and natural, which made a huge difference for me. He was giving great direction, paying attention to all the little details, and constantly looking for ways to make each shot better. There were so many moments where I thought, “okay, THAT shot is going to be fire.”
What I really appreciated was how invested he was in bringing the vision to life. He was open to ideas, had plenty of creative input of his own, and knew exactly how to make the lighting, angles, and location work in our favor.
And the final photos? Absolutely exceeded my expectations. I had a hard time choosing my favorites because there were so many good ones!
DJ is definitely someone I’d trust with any shoot, whether it’s for personal branding, portraits, modeling, or something completely creative. If you want someone who’s going to put real effort into making your photos stand out, I highly recommend working with him. ”
