"The camera is an instrument that teaches people how to see without a camera.”

(Dorothea Lange)

Greetings, and welcome!

I am a photographer based in Brooklyn and sometimes London. I have been taking pictures off and on since high school, starting out way back then with my very first real camera, a 1950s Leica M3, and a handheld Weston light meter, and spending many hours in the darkroom. I am originally from the San Francisco Bay Area.

In my prior professional life I was a corporate finance partner first at the US law firm Brobeck, Phleger & Harrison LLP and then the US law firm Morrison & Foerster LLP.

Photography is an essential and important creative outlet for me. Also, it changes the way I see things which is why I like Dorothea Lange’s quote so much. I find myself looking at the world in a different way – seeing details, people, light, color and so much more that I may not have otherwise seen. Most of all – despite its challenges – it is fun!

I have fully switched over to digital and currently shoot exclusively with Nikon and Fuji cameras. I still treasure my Nikons but find myself using the mirrorless Fujis more and more as time goes by. I use primarily Adobe Lightroom for post-processing, although I do some post-processing work in Capture One as well.  

You can view some of my other work on dleventhalphotography.com.

If you have any queries, please feel free to contact me.

Thanks for visiting.
