I've been a working pro photographer for over thirty years. I enjoy shooting models, and I enjoy a challenge. I'm professional, but easy-going and easy to work with. I am very flexible, and I can change the work flow very quickly as a shoot develops. I have recently given a great deal of thought to what I want my photography to bring to the viewer.
There is enough darkness and violence in the world without photographers trying to emulate it and call it "art." You can find blood running in the streets of our world every day, if that's what you're looking for... photojournalists and crime scene investigators document that. I see no need to try to recreate it, "safely" in a studio setting. I was a crime-scene investigator for many years. I've seen, experienced, and photographed enough of that first hand to last us all a lifetime... perhaps many lifetimes.
I would much rather that my work bring a smile to your face... a bit of beauty and light: perhaps something whimsical, lyrical, or thoughtful; or perhaps something just beautiful in its line, lighting, or form. I hope that each of my photos will leave you with a feeling of having something positive added to your day.
Thanks for checking out my profile and gallery! Drop me a line if you've seen something you like. :)
