Corporate executive turned corporate photographer
Hello! I am a Tampa-based professional photographer with a passion for creating images that dates back to the 80s when I first took photography classes in college. I am also a former Wall Street investment banker, corporate development executive, and entrepreneur with an MBA from The University of Texas at Austin (Hook 'em, Horns!). This experience gives me a first-hand perspective into the needs of businesses and professionals at all levels. Today, I focus on doing what I love - producing high-quality photography in collaboration with incredible clients.

About Me
MEET SIDNEY
I am a professional photographer based in Tampa who is focused on corporate photography, including business lifestyle branding, headshots, studio and location portraiture, and events. I’m best known for my craftsmanship, professionalism, and excellent customer service. Personally, I’m both creative and analytical, which is why I have degrees in photography and finance. For over 20 years, I was a Wall Street investment banker and business executive, including serving as the Vice President of Business and Content Development for Plaor, Inc., and the Director of Strategy and Corporate Development for Caesars Interactive Entertainment, the owner of the World Series of Poker and formerly the world’s largest online, mobile and social gaming company focused on casino entertainment.
After earning my MBA, I launched a start-up company focused on commercializing technology-based premium sports products called Legend Sports Gear, which became a member of the exclusive Austin Technology Incubator. About 10 years ago, I decided to pursue more personally fulfilling opportunities, accepting creative positions at prominent non-profit organizations including The Animal Foundation, the largest single-site animal shelter in the U.S. Today, I leverage my extensive business experience to provide professionals and organizations of every size with a variety of visual content solutions.
I'm a lifelong Bucs fan who enjoys traveling and cooking with my wife.
While I’ve lived in many places – New York City, Chicago, Dallas, Austin, Las Vegas – this is actually my second time living in the Tampa Bay area, and my roots here go back to the 70s. In fact, I attended my first professional football game in Tampa on December 16th, 1979. Known as the “Monsoon Game”, the Buccaneers defeated the Chiefs 3-0 in the driving rain, winning their division and earning a spot in the playoffs that year for the first time in franchise history. I’ve been a Bucs fan ever since!When not creating photographs or cheering on the Bucs, I enjoy traveling and cooking with my wife, Heather, a U.S. veteran and licensed clinical psychologist who served as the co-lead of the PTSD treatment team for the VA Southern Nevada Healthcare System and as the Deputy Director of the Police Training Institute. Today, Heather is a full-time author and she often serves as my assistant during photo shoots. Given her background, I can trust her to help keep our sessions running smoothly!Hundreds of individuals and companies have trusted me to help them with their photography and branding needs. Contact me today for your free consultation. I look forward to getting to know you!

Are you struggling to produce visual content for your business? If so, you aren’t alone. In fact, a large percentage of businesses find producing quality visual content consistently to be their biggest struggle with content production. Using stock photographs can seem like a quick and cost-effective option; however, you risk it being perceived as inauthentic, harming your brand. Additionally, using generic images are completely inappropriate for showcasing your unique products, services, and team members.
If you can picture it, I can capture it.
To effectively compete today, businesses need to connect with audiences on a deeper level by creating powerful marketing images that captures attention and effectively communicates what your brand stands for. According to HubSpot, creating content that reflects your individual brand’s values (e.g., reliability, creativity, integrity) is one of the biggest ways marketing has changed recently. Additionally, images deliver among the highest ROI than any other content format.
I provide organizations of every size -- from multi-national corporations to the local French bakery -- with a variety of visual marketing and content solutions that help their brands resonate with customers. Clients partner with me for brand storytelling across all media, from billboards to websites, to promoting their businesses on social media, and distributing images for PR. Contact me today to learn how high-quality photography can build credibility and trust with audiences and grow your business. Your brand is one of your most valuable assets!
