-Karl Lagerfeld
Presently I enjoy working on Fine Art Beauty & Nudes. My preference is for a classic look with bare skin accented by a little fabric or a beautiful piece of clothing. Good fashion is primarily about emotions.... my work is sensual and I work with models that have an intensity from within that comes from life experiences. You can teach a person how to pose, however, you can't teach someone how to feel.....
*** Friend Requests are nice and flattering, however, please do not send me a message that states you like my work and would like to collaborate if you are not comfortable in your own skin.....
I enjoy meeting and collaborating with new models, make-up artists, designers and stylists. I've never met someone who is serious about their craft who doesn't have the desire to do something new. Producing new work is the sign of the professional. When you stop testing you cease to grow....
