And a little bit about me
- I'm young (product of the 80's!)
- The world is my playground and California is currently my studio
- I love photography, and love even more when I can do it barefoot
- Normal is boring, I like to stand out - please stand with me
- I am big goof ball which always makes my shoots fun and laid back but I am serious about my work. I give 120% I expect the same out of everyone taking part.
- I love adventuring, and am very open to new ideas, hard to access locations and a new spin on old ideas.
- I do whatever it takes to get that "shot" which has been everything from being covered in mud, shooting in downpouring rain; shooting in a t-shirt and when the temp hits 17F as well as wearing jeans and the mercury climbs above 115F (thank you Australia) to being waste deep in NYC garbage
I work until my hands HURT, and then I'll work a little more
- I have two adorable Cairn Terriers Toto and Ruby that love to be in photos and are available for shoots
(Only while in Connecticut though)
My dog Toto, my favorite model
Originally from Waterbury CT (of which I occasionally return to for short bursts), I now call Southern California in the town of Orange home. I have since ventured more outward in new directions from originally shooting mainly concerts to now more fashion and editorial related work and I love it. I still shoot shows when I get the chance as I love music.
I'm never one to limit myself to anything, I have started to focus more on Fashion and Editorial now but I am always looking for that new interesting challenge to present itself. I'll do it all
- Couture/High Fashion
- lifestyle
- glamour/maxim
- Fitness
- street
- pin-up
- nudes (artistic and playboy)
My shot on the Fall 2008 Cover of Country Estates Magazine
I am incredibly friendly, very outgoing, full of energy and very open minded. I love working with people who love to be be creative. My only boundary is that of my clients imagination. I have a deep passion for what I do.
David Leslie, a great photographer and one who inspires me puts it best:
"There are photographers and there are 'photo-technicians'"
I am a
PHOTOGRAPHER
I shoot digital but started on film (and love whenever I can go back to it). Although I am young, when I first began pursuing photography, I learned from others who HAD to understand the aspects of photography to make a great shot. 90% of my work happens when I shoot it, not in post. I agree with the belief that when become "self-satisfied" with your work, you've stopped growing. I will never say I know everything as I don't. As well, I'll never say my work is amazing because I am constantly growing and always learning new things which I apply to everything.
I love all and any feedback, and comments, please though have it be positive or constructive criticism. If you feel your work is "better" than mine, I'll respect that - but only if you support you belief. I look forward to meeting and working with you.
I will gladly do TF* if the concept is uniqure. The
WILDER the idea the better the chances are that I'll be interested.
