About me
I am an established photographic artist working in the central Ohio region. I am hoping to connect with models, preferably male, in hopes of creating new figurative work aimed toward gallery exhibition. Most of my work is black and white, while my color tends to be more subdued. I'm one of those photographers who still uses film as well as digital because I believe in the quality of the image and the craft that comes from hands-on production. I would like my photographs to be appreciated for many years and strive to produce images that engage the viewer again and again.

I believe that the "human body" is an incredible work of art, each person uniquely different; and it's the combination of the figure interacting with the environment that makes a statement. Models must be comfortable with their bodies and themselves, especially since I do a lot of work outdoors or in environments.

When a person is devoid of clothing, he/she suddenly has no societal or chronological connections to the world - they become a symbol - even if just a symbol of beauty. This is the ideal concept for my work.

I would prefer to trade. If you help create images that I can use for exhibition, I will help create images for your use. If you'd rather not work toward my goals, but still have me shoot for you, I can give you my shoot rates. Payment is possible if you'd like to model but don't want images in return. But remember I'm an artist so please be reasonable. 

Please check my website (above) for more examples. Thanks for looking.

Hello Mr.,

Thank you very much for your tag and compliment to my new avatar. I got the photo by collaboration with photographer Robert Colgan. If you want to have images which are highly artistic, he is definitely one of very talented photographers really knowing how to create arts using camera, who you should work with. ;-)
