Hi! Thanks for stopping by. I’m Donny, and I’m based in Baltimore, MD. 

I am a photo editor with Smithsonian magazine, where I commission photographers in many genres, including fine art, documentary, and reportage. Many of our collaborations have been recognized by American Photography, NPPA Best of Photojournalism, Communication Arts, The Society of Publication Designers, and the Graphis Institute. I am a visual artist and photographer with a BFA in photojournalism from the Rochester Institute of Technology. 

I explore both analog and digital approaches to photography in the documentary tradition. Growing up in the transient lifestyle of a military family pre-9/11 and serving overseas as a soldier post-9/11 has given me a unique worldview. I continually refine my work by re-investigating my archive for new material and exploring unfinished ideas.
