FRIEND REQUESTS: I
only add people that I have
met or worked with before, or will be collaborating with in the near future. If you are looking to add to the "Friend's List" to simply make yourself seem more well-known or associable, you may be looking in the wrong place. That being said, I do add when doing actual networking! Thank you.

Long ago I picked up a crayon like everyone else and started to draw. As time went on, I became more involved in school and lost my way with art. I never was the best painter, sketch-artist , or musician, but one day I took up a camera and found I could shoot some really great photographs and loved doing it. Today, that is exactly what I do and can't imagine doing anything else as challenging and rewarding, unless of course, I get to be a rock star.
I have been working in photography for the better part of eight years. Although I have shot many projects ranging from scientific and documentary to nature, architecture, and product, my primary interest, focus, proficiency, and goal lies with glamour and fashion, particularly gothic fashion.
Services offered include fashion and glamour portraiture, but other projects are possible and negotiable, all at reasonable rates. I shoot digitally as well as large format film and transparencies (facilities providing
).
Fine art photographs are made usually available through gallery shows, but may be requested nonetheless.
On
rare occasions, I shoot TFP/TFCD on select projects.
Thank you for your interest and I hope you like what you see.

TFP/TFCD Opportunity: I am currently expanding my portfolio with
Gothic / Alternative Fashion. If this is your specialty (or are open to trying) and are within reasonable distance, contact me and we'll see what we can do!
Makeup artists, hairstylists, and fashion designers also very welcome.
My time is rather limited, as such, a $50 deposit is required to book and is returned at the shoot (exception requires a 48 hour notice prior to shoot).
So please,
serious inquiries
only.
