Welcome to our page,

NOTE: All images are for sale as photographic prints and will benefit the subjects. You may follow the link at the top of this page for more information. All purchases are 100% tax-deductible through my foundation and all images are printed by hand on museum-grade paper in a wet darkroom, processed to archival standards by me, the photographer!
At first glance, these portraits will look out of place here.
Then one realizes that these people are just as beautiful, just as important as anyone with access to a beautiful camera and a good agent. This work gives these people a chance to speak.
My leaning towards women is based on one fact: women are the least represented segment in most societies. Most of my work is from Asia, Africa and the Americas.
This photography has one purpose: the support of certain non-profit foundations with an emphasis on women and girls. These portraits can be viewed through the foundations' links below.
The intention with this site is to explore the possibilities closer to home. If you find yourself drawn to these faces and this very specific technique, then you may feel free to share your thoughts with me.
All payments made for my work will go to the foundations. If it is me contacting you, then your work is on me unless you feel like making a donation for a great cause.
With every penny exchanged for a portrait, a girl on the other side of the world gets access to an education. My work is purely social in nature and our collaboration will benefit all involved.
For the time being, only female models are being included in this work. You have my gratitude for your visit.
The footage of my work with the foundations can be seen here:

My work has been exhibited in various spaces locally such as the Cleveland Museum of Art, Gina's Gallery and Boutique, Algebra Teahouse, Doubting Thomas Gallery and Lucky's Cafe in Tremont.
In addition, select portraits have been included in shows in New York City as well as in India.
With immense gratitude to my dear brother Patrick (MM 741394), the website can proudly be presented for your review. You may view other images and gather more information regarding the separate foundations through its pages. My hope is that you will find the images just as inspiring.
