I’m Sean, a New York-based photographer with a human focus.

My background in music composition gives me a natural sense for timing, structure, and the energy of a moment— whether it’s unfolding onstage or behind the scenes. I’m drawn to real people and real stories, and I make those stories visible through careful attention and clear visual language.

Clients come for me for images that are both honest and intentional. Whether I’m documenting a performance, a gathering, a portrait, or capturing surfers while swimming in 12-foot waves, I aim to create images that feel grounded, immediate, and true.
