BREAKING NEWS!  Unfortunately I suffered a very serious, life changing accident on October 10th and will be unable to do any new work for several months.  Please forgive me for any unanswered e-mail; I'll catch up as soon as possible.  Thanks for understanding. 


I shoot nude and semi-nude portraits.  Representative photographs are exhibited in my portfolio.  I generally don't care for anonymous nudes, pretense or artifice. Please, no flakes, 'implied' or play models! 

I strive, with varying degrees of success for my work to be about the model and rarely have a preconceived concept.  Natural models who are confident and creative should work with me; bold and fearless is a plus.  I consider myself a poor stylist and prefer straight forward simplicity.  I do not employ stylists or a MUA.  The model makes my photographs, I simply record them.

Photo sessions last from one to two hours and all models are compensated.  Unobtrusive chaperones are always welcome.  Please feel free to check with any of the models on my page for reference.

I work in New York, Oklahoma City, and Newport Beach, CA.  As a part time New Yorker I am not always available in NYC.  However I am in NY much of the fall and winter, less often in the summer.

Because of pointless clutter I don't usually accept 'friends' unless you are actually a friend or a model that I would like to work with, or a photographer whose work I particularly admire.  Models, should you send me a friend request, I assume that you would like to work with me.

Favorite quotations:

"The body is meant to be seen, not all covered up!"
Marilyn Monroe  (Pirated from Crash, MM#604197)

Tanya Dakin on nudity: "better show 'em now, before no one wants to see 'em"  (Borrowed from From Tony Yang's page, MM #107)

Thanks,

Steve
