Seasoned professional with over 25+ years combined experience in both traditional film & digital photography. Some of my best work is capturing life’s most intimate moments as they happen. I believe in bringing out the natural beauty in all living things. I prefer a more natural, candid style of photography, as opposed to a posed, contrived image. I enjoy working outdoors, utilizing natural sunlight to create dramatic effects with contrast of light, shadows & colors. Although I prefer a natural setting, I am not opposed to shooting indoors, in a studio or commercial work to achieve a specific style or genre of photography.
I enjoy photographing women and bringing out their unique qualities and emotions. I strive to create a perfect balance between nature & the human form. I believe in capturing a model's raw natural beauty without excessively altering the original image.
I am very passionate about my work and take great pride in delivering consistent quality every time. If you are ambitious about your modeling career and seek to fill your port with exceptional work, you owe it to yourself to contact me. I am willing to work with both aspiring & professional models to develop their own unique style. I bring fun, diversity & creativity to every shoot! I go out of my way to make every model feel comfortable & relaxed. Just ask the models I have worked with... they'll tell ya!
"The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman must be seen from in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides." – S. Levinson

Out of the ordinary...
I'm always up for a creative challenge! I love collaborating with models to bring their ideas to life. Contact me with your shoot ideas and let's set up a brainstorming session to make it happen. I have a notepad full of creative ideas just waiting for the right model!
Self-Promo Materials
I offer self-promotional materials like composite cards, portfolios & prints, CDs/DVDs, plus custom designed websites at competitive rates. For more information on these & other products, please contact me through Mayhem or my official website.
Have camera, will travel!
I'm available for both commercial & promotional work. Please inquire for rates & availability. Willing to travel within Florida for confirmed shoots. Willing to travel out of state for paid assignments. All travel expenses will need to be paid in advance. A fuel surcharge may apply to any work outside of my local area. Professional references available upon request.
TFP/TFCD
Sorry, but I no longer shoot TFP/TFCD. Occasionally, I will offer special "jump-start" packages to aspiring models who bring something fresh & new to my portfolio. My rates are very reasonable & I am always willing to negotiate. I offer both full day & half day sessions. Although I shoot mostly on weekdays & evenings, on rare occasions I'm available on weekends. Please contact me for open dates & time slots.
