About me
*If you add me as a friend, intoduce yourself! I will no longer accept tagless/message-less requests! If you want to talk to me...just talk to me! I won't bite.*

CURRENTLY NOT BOOKING. PLEASE CHECK BACK! SORRY FOR THE INCONVENIENCE!


I have a thing for hotel rooms.

Italian-American.

I really don't want to be too verbose, so here are all the punchlines...message me for the specifics. smile

I mainly aim for conceptual imagery, specializing in fine art photography. My style is all over the board: sometimes I'll produce something simple, often times I'll create a piece with a very ornate feel. I am all about mood and emotional texture...do not expect some pretty person standing against a white backdrop. Let's make something memorable! I'm a sucker for theatrics.

I am really quite tired of being told how photographers need to operate. I'm figuring out my own way of doing things...no, I don't have $50,000 worth of lighting equipment or a studio with 22' tall ceilings. I can't even drive! Now, I'm not saying I would turn those things down if they were offered to me, but if I can still pull off appealing images without light meters and a team of 20 people how does that make me any less of an artist? At the end of the day, if I am (and the clients are) happy with the turnout then I find it a success. Professionalism should not hinge on how spiffy one's setup is.

Still under construction! I am in serious need to develop my portfolio. However, at the moment I am not that available for work, but send me a message and I'll let you know when/if anything can happen. When I do get back on track, I'm willing to do select TFCD. I am a student, so please take that into consideration if I tell you I cannot work with you at a certain time.

Other than that, I am a very pleasant person to work with...the more comfortable we are, the better. If you are a friendly and understanding person, that's a major plus. Communication is key; I cannot emphasize this enough. Cooperation is a mutual, equal effort after all. Have a question? Ask. I'll probably ask a lot of questions myself.

Travelling is my one of my most treasured past times, but I cannot do it often now that I am in school. Any work must come to me (or the LA area smile).

I DO NOT DO PORNY SHOTS. You know what I'm talking about. I am most certainly not a prude as taboos are an inspiration for me, but there is a difference between being artistic and being tasteless.

Hey Diana!

I'm finally on here. haha..... I've decided to get away from all the musicians in town and start doing some more creative work. Musicians can be so stifling to creativity sometimes. Anyway I just remembered that you were on here! : )

I hope you've been doing well! You already know I'm a big fan of your work. ; ) P.S. My last shoot involved blood! woohoo! I can't wait to edit them.

All the best,
-Kevin

Singapore is wonderful. We just moved apartments, and this new place is really nice. We have a pool and a gym downstairs :) I also started at uni, so that's been keeping me busy. Best of all, I've been getting lots of work so my contract has been extended for another month. How are you Diana?
