Multi-faceted professional artist trained in all forms but educated in Photojournalism. Started out shooting sports and slowly gravitated toward studio work while living in the Bay area. Currently I reside in New York and have a day gig as a technical specialist/product photographer for MAC Group(Mamiya, Profoto, Sekonic, etc). Translation: I get some pretty radical gear to play with and have no problem setting up a studio environment at any location.
I mostly shoot live event/performance art which has been quite lucrative but I feel that modeling has been something that has escaped me in my career. Models are performers.
I would love to explore the possibilities with fresh faces and further my career while enhancing your port.
For the present purposes of this post, I am really just looking for test work..TFP/TFCD but I do at times have paying assignments and will certainly post casts in the future. I also will require wages in the case of long portfolio projects. I am used to getting paid for my services as well as do all of you. I should also add that I am available for assisting work in this area as well.I always enjoy seeing another artist work and have assisted and collaborated with many.
Feel free to check out my site or blog. I never have any problem giving anyone props online and have developed some great contacts due to my work both as an artist and a tech.
