I’m officially a member of the Sony Alpha Collective- a coalition of Sony photographers and videographers who are passionate about creating new imagery.

One of the perks of being a part of this collective, is that Sony puts together a handful of amazing trips throughout the year for us to go on and shoot with their new products along with other collective members. This was my first trip with Sony to Chaing Mai Thailand, led by legendary photographer Ira Glass, where we photographed the Lantern festival, Monks, and elephants. Before the trip, I didn’t know anyone besides my pals Dave Krugman and Jane Kim, but became close with the other talented creators Dan Orst, Ananya Ray, Johnny V, Matt Ferr, Phil Nguyen, Jason F, Morgan Crumply, and Mic-Anthony Hay.
