I love to let my models manifest - with only light guidance - their own Inner Energy, and explore where that takes us.
For years, I've collaboratively explored with my models how to use the human figure to create art forms that in particular reflect playfulness and a dreamer's quality. Hence the name!

After a pause during the pandemic, it's time to restart the process. Historically, I've worked with models I already personally knew from other projects, such as art events... but it's time to expand to a broader community such as MM

Stylistically, my approach is to introduce elements, such as garments or color, only if they serve a purpose.

Timelessness is a foundational element of virtually all of my work; hence, I use minimal styling (which easily dates the picture) and I painstakingly digitally erase all tats (so, models with few or no tats are especially welcome! In cases where the tats are beyond hope of easy digital deletion, we steer to bodypaint shoots.)

I'm a somewhat non-binary male, often described as having a mix of female and male energy. I tap into that for my work...

My artwork has been in about 50 exhibitions all over the U.S. and France, and I've been honored to receive a number of awards from art centers in the U.S.

I look forward to our possible future collaboration :)
