Since 1995 I have been developing my style of fashion, beauty & glamour photography and it is a journey that I am enjoying just as much as I am anticipating the destination.
In spite of the seeming inexorable trend towards digital, I continue to shoot on film and have even begun discovering the joys of Polaroid! Fashion & beauty photography is my continuing crusade and education.
If you are interested in working with me or collaborating with me, please do not hesitate to write - I look forward to hearing from you!
I will be very rarely - if at all - updating my portfolio here on ModelMayhem - if you'd like to see my latest work, please visit my website (SEE LINK ABOVE) - thank you!
"What is ruining the perception/expectation of beauty and attractiveness are all these heavily-Photoshopped images that erase all trace of individuality from a person. People are beautiful BECAUSE of their imperfections, NOT in spite of them! A person's individuality and life history is written on their physical being via marks and scars and removing every little physical quirk on a person's skin robs them of that."
NOTE REGARDING FRIEND REQUESTS: If you have sent me a "friend request" and I have not added you, please do not take offense. It is just that MM hasn't added a feature by which one can catalogue and sort one's friends and having just a LIST of 3,000 friends is too cumbersome! If you are not actually on my list of "friends" here on MM, then please know that you are my "friend" in spirit!

Winning would have been nice, but getting my work in front of such top-drawer judges as: Nicole Frankel of Vogue U.K., Werner Krainz of Publicis Frankfurt, Charlie Holland of Getty Images Los Angeles and Sylvia Frago of Dazed & Confused U.K. is reward enough! . . . .
