My Background
A graduate of the Art Institute of Pittsburgh and Point Park University, Extensive experience as a technical illustrator and book cover artist. Full-time instructor of graphic design, art history, illustration, and intro to photography. I have experience working with local theater; plays, sets, actors, lighting and sound. I can appreciate models with talent in the arts, theater, music and dance.
Expert skills in Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator.
I'm looking to step up the creativity in my photo-shoots soon. I want to work with more theme-related concepts, costumes, jewelry, makeup and interesting lighting.

Peculiar interpretation of some classic jokes (chicken crossing the road, knock knock, etc.)

Mystery
Essence

Fine art influences...

Looking for natural, environmental, energetic, and candid style. Nothing too static.
Though not really my style, nudes, partial, implied, lingerie, undergarments are acceptable if we have a good concept behind it.
I don't do bikini shots.
