About Me

About My Philosophy

With over 34 years of photographic experience, I’ve developed a deep sensitivity to capturing beauty in its many forms. From the subtle to the sublime, I explore how light interacts with line, shape, and sensuality. This beauty reveals itself in the human form, in nature, and in the creations of our own hands—it’s everywhere, for those willing to see it.

I believe that everything holds what I call the beauty dynamic—that moment when light, form, and imagination meet to reveal a subject at its most striking. It’s not something that can be achieved with every photograph, but it remains the goal behind every image I create.

About My Qualifications

Making a living in a creative field requires discipline, business savvy, and of course talent. Add to that years of experience and it all comes together to establish my well nurtured roots for photographic success. I’ve learned a lot along the way, and from this, I have a great deal of insight and knowledge to share with my clients. This knowledge is particularly showcased through my special interest in on-location photography. The following are some of the important benefits and considerations I bring to every photographic project:

• Extensive research into the locale of the photo session. Including but not limited to climate and astronomical conditions, local norms & customs, and talent acquisition.
• Understanding of travel logistics for minimizing the complexity of clearing customs & immigration, choosing efficient modes of transportation, and hiring any necessary guides or assistants. For more details on how I utilize my travel experience check out my blog post, On Location Preparation.
• Expansive expertise in artificial and natural lighting to create the imagery exactly as conceived. For more specific examples read blog posts: Creative Use of Artificial Light and What’s My Style?
• Clear and concise communication to keep myself, the art director, and the talent all on the same page to achieve the same goal.
• Expertise in Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom gleaned from over 20 years of post-production photo retouching experience. Learn more from my blog post, Post-Production Editing.

And of course, because a picture is worth 1,000 words (at least), check out my portfolios of Fashion & Lifestyle, Swimwear, Under the Lights, or Glamour & Boudoir. You can also see more of my work on Instagram and Facebook.
