About me
** TRAVEL PLANS: mostly off the road for a little while.  Los Angeles, Nov. 2-7th.  Tentative Kansas City KS, Dec. 5-8th.

Subtlety is lost on me: if you want to work together just send me a message or tag saying as much, as I tend to take comments at face value otherwise.

I'm a Brooklyn-based fashion/portrait photographer but I also travel regularly.  Most of my fashion work is with models from major agencies and I rarely shoot fashion with models from MM, but I will make exceptions on portrait/glamour shoots or when models can supply their own styling assistance.  The quickest way to work with me is to hire me - my rates are VERY reasonable.

I try to test one day per week, client work permitting - drop me a note if you're interested and I'll let you know what my next availability is.  I mostly test on weekdays - I don't have a day job, this is it.  Models get two edited images from every look we shoot, you make your own selects from proofs.  I don't give out original files or every image from the shoot.

A few things worth knowing about me: I'm not interested in having you pose with guns, swords, knives or guitars.  If all we can come up with is "sit there and look pretty" we might as well leave the cameras at home and just go drinking instead.  I don't think every shoot calls for nudity, but if the idea of a little side-boob scares the crap out of you then I might not be the right collaborator for ya - I like to shoot a little sexy.  I don't have an inherent problem with models with escorts, but I'm not fond having six people show up where two were expected - we're here to work, not take class field trips.  You're welcome to contact any model in my portfolio and verify I'm not a psycho.

Oh, and they're not "captures", they're photographs.

This is me, so you can have a face with the name:
