He was formerly a Senior Multimedia Editor at TIME Leading visual coverage for national and technology stories, he was also a regular contributor to their photo site Lightbox. With a focus on emerging technology from VR to Instagram, he developed an obsession with drones - leading to an issue of the magazine focused solely on the drone space with a cover that recreated TIME’s red border using almost 1000 colored drones. For the past few years, he has also been an adjunct professor at the International Center of Photography.
