About me
===========================================================
COMMERCIAL, EDITORIAL & STOCK PHOTOGRAPHY
Travel, Fashion and Lifestyles.
I've spent most of my career handling assignments for publications, both as a photographer and as a writer. I've done a lot of editorial work, corporate work and commercial work.
I've been doing this a very long time. I first started taking pictures when I was around 10, living in New York. I got serious about photography when I was in the military. Over the years, my work has appeared in numerous national publications, including some of the top photo magazines in the country. I've been on staff with various magazines, newspapers and corporate publications.
I still do some editorial work and handle some commercial assignments. And I still shoot some runway, do some studio work and provide occassional trade show coverage. But I shifted direction somewhat over the last few years. I'm spending considerable more time on personal projects and adding to my stock image library.
Since I do a lot of location work, I'm always looking for interesting locations and dramatic settings to shoot in. One of my favorite places to shoot is at the beach (I usually have my second cup of coffee in the mornings watching surfing), but I shoot regularly in LA and throughout the Southwest. (I'm working on a whole series of interesting desert locations.)
============================================================
BACKGROUND
Earlier in my career I did a lot of news/feature photography, including hard news, celebrity and sports coverage. Over the years, I've written or coauthored several books on photography, taught numerous photography seminars and model workshops through various community services and adult education programs, and have had a couple of gallery exhibits of my prints.
I lived in Europe as a youngster and bounced around the U.S when I was growing up. I've traveled extensively, including in all but a half dozen states, and more than 40 countries in North and Central America, Europe and Asia.

WORKING WITH CLIENTS
While I've cut back on the number of editorial assignments that I handle, I'm still interested in seeing my work in print. I don't shoot for credit, but, if it's a project I really find interesting, I can generally work within the mid-range page rate of the publication involved.
On the commercial side, I've worked with numerous major/international corporations, but I particularly like working with emerging firms that are just ready to take off. I have a special rate for start-up firms where I'm dealing directly with the owners of the business, owners who are interested in expanding their brands.
============================================================
WORKING WITH MODELS (RELEASES with PHOTO IDs are required for all shoots.)
Some of my work involves models, some of it doesn't. But I'm always interested in find models with strong potential to work with. (I'm not doing a lot of basic test shooting right now, but I am interested in trade shoots for various projects I'm working on and to add to my stock image library. These types of shoots are a little more involved than basic test shoots, and, I've found that they tend to go best when there's a meeting before hand to discuss concepts and work out details, whenever its geographically feasible.)
If we shoot, feel free to bring a friend, maybe someone to help with wardrobe changes, or hair and make up if there's no MUA involved. While a friend is welcome, boyfriends generally aren't, unless arrangements have been made before hand, and groups of friends never are.
I never reschedule shoots with models that are no-shows, and I generally don't reschedule shoots with models that cancel at the last minute. (If you've cancelled more than three shoots in the last six months, it's probably not a good idea to set up a shoot.)
===========================================================
IMAGES
For test and trade shoots, I usually provide a CD with a dozen or so images per hour of shooting, including a selection of optimized images, within 10 to 14 days.
I generally don't provide images on paid shoots, unless a client is picking up the tab for a commercial assignment or arrangements have been made before hand.
============================================================
FRIENDS REQUESTS
Feedback about my work is always appreciated... If you want to work together or like my work, just send me a message before the Friends Request. I'll do the same. That way we'll know there's an actual interest in the work, rather than somebody just adding numbers to their friends list.
