Thank you for taking the time to look at this portfolio, any comments you leave will be greatly appreciated. 

I'm a photographer based in Nanaimo, BC, I actually live on Gabriola Island nd have only recently moved from Vancouver.   My focus is on making meaningful images of people. I am very creative and love to collaborate with others to create new ideas and unique looks.

Prior to moving here I was the Department Head - Digital Photography at the Vancouver Institute of Media Arts (VanArts). 

But my background is in commercial photography.  I have been a photographer for over 30 years, had several studios both in Vancouver and Toronto and had a pretty extensive client list.  My real love is in beauty and erotic photography.  I have published two books and am just finishing a third.   

I am always open to considering TFCD shoots with select models, if it is something that interests me. I also have a couple of ongoing projects for which I am willing to pay modelling fees.  Please feel free to contact me if you have a project in mind that you would like to discuss. I'll try to return messages as quickly as I can.
