Every artist dips his brush in his own soul, and paints his own nature into his pictures.
~ Henry Ward Beecher
American clergyman & social reformer (1813-1887)
If you can't be a pine at the top of the hill, be a shrub in the valley. But be the best little shrub on the side of the hill.
Be a bush if you can't be a tree. If you can't be a highway, just be a trail. If you can't be a sun, be a star. For it isn't by size that you win or fail. Be the best of whatever you are.
~ Martin Luther King, Jr.
American clergyman & civil rights leader (1929-1968)
To the students of Barratt Junior High School; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
October 26, 1967.
Regarding Beauty, Fashion, and Glamour Photography
I am currently shooting a limited number of beauty, fashion, and glamour photo-sessions. However, please feel free to contact me if you are genuinely interested in working together.
I’m an experienced commercial photographer, writer, and educator. I’ve worked as a photographer for decades; shooting for advertising agencies, magazines, and catalogs. I have extensive experience in multi-media production, as well as print work. I hold a combined seventy Model Mayhem
Picture of the Day and
18+ Picture of the Day wins, along with numerous awards on other fashion and glamour photography sites.
I served as a Moderator at Model Mayhem for several years, running various contests including the
Picture of the Day, 18+ Picture of the Day, and
Picture of the Day – Original Edition. I’ve also mentored several well-known fashion and glamour photographers and models, helping them to get their start.
Professionally trained, I do all my own camera work, lighting, and retouching. With nearly forty-five years of photographic experience my style and techniques are my own.
Today I work from a simple home studio that includes small pets. Also I ask that models who shoot TF* with me sign a standard model release. If you hope to shoot with me and these things are an issue then please let me know in advance. Thanks!
