About me
I'm interested in working with both new and experienced models to develop both of our portfolios.  Compensation is generally TFP / TFCD, or rarely, a combination pay and TFCD.

This is my fine art nude portfolio.  I believe that the human body is among the most beautiful objects on earth.  I hope to be able to contribute unique art to this genre although the body has been photographed since the origins of photography.  I like women, and hope that this shows in my work.  I try to take the time to create an image with the model I'm working with that captures not only her beauty, but also something of her nature.

I tend to use available light, either in my in-home studio or in the environment.  However, I'm comfortable working with studio lights when appropriate.

I've been fascinated by photography since my parents gave me a Brownie box camera when I was quite young.  Later, when I started to do my own darkroom work, I was absolutely enchanted by the images as they appeared in the developing tray.

Much of my prior work was landscape photography.  The play of light and shadow across vast spaces has always been beautiful to me.  I continue to work with landscapes quite often.

Lately, I've become interested in capturing a moment
with all of the elements of space, time, movement and color.  I find this style of work to be very difficult, but extremely rewarding when I'm successful.

So I read that was a sculpture... you should do a real life version of that.

Oh your very welcome. Sorry about the "drive-by" listing without saying anything. But it's hard to say something that hasn't already been said about your wonderful work....I'm not that good with words.

It truly is fantastic, beautiful work though. Keep it up, can't wait to see what's next.
