My current projects are creating the imagery of the desert and it's resorts and spas; where the sky, sun, palms and waters merge to heal the body & soul.
I'm available for assignments including portfolio work, print and internet advertising, publicity, editorial, portraiture, and events.
I do need models both male and female for spa projects, so please contact me if you're interested in that. Trades? Yes.
Photography is in my blood. As a curious 8 year old, I picked up the family Polaroid and took pictures of guests at my parents' parties. I modeled kid's clothing. I built a darkroom in the garage at age 16 and taught myself Black & White printing.
At 21 I landed my first job at a Northern California portrait studio doing B&W printing, and went on to LA to work at a wedding studio. Then to a product studio as assistant, then did some freelancing, and then on to a corporate gig in Pasadena as a photographer and photo lab supervisor.
I've shot people, products and architecture for magazines, annual reports, catalogs and the internet. Having photographed professionally for over 10 years in the Los Angeles area I've now relocated to the Coachella Valley to renew my creative spirits. Photographing people both on location or in the studio is my preference.
