My writing in the industry has primarily fallen under the umbrella of Fstoppers.com, which is a trade publication in the photography industry (the fourth largest photography news website on the internet with roughly 2 million visits per month). More recently, Quinnipiac University has asked me to write for The Conversation, and my first article appeared there in September 2024.

I write about 50 articles per year for Fstoppers.com.
