DROWN
This book explores the relationship between humans & water. Both emotional and physical connections between humans and water. My Ideal model for this is someone who normally enjoys being around and in water, someone who feels connected to water. All models must sign a model release form for print & publishing. I am looking for people with strong features & unique characteristics.All sizes,shapes,and colors are needed for this project.
FLY
This series is about being free and letting go. I am trying to capture this feeling. With visual representations of flight and flying. *DANCERS ARE PERFECT FOR THIS... (balloons, kites, anything that flies) If you have any sort of flying reference tattooed on you, (birds, feathers, ect.) your perfect for this as well.
HEART ATTACK
This a series I have been building since 2008. This series explores love. The idle period between giving in and opening up. The space between letting go and moving on. To love, to hurt, to fear, is to be human and to have a Heart Attack. I am looking for mainly females, to interpret ideals of love. I am looking to capture the feeling of being loved, being hurt and being scared.
APOCALYPSE
I am interested in photographically exploring the beautiful form of the female body, in all its shapes, sizes, and colors. Implied fine art nudes, exploring how light can form the body. I am piecing together a series with nude women interacting with abandoned locations. A contrast of the growing and the dieing.
If you are intrigued - contact me, lets make something beautiful together.
There is always something churning deep inside of me, something indescribable, something that can't be spoken or written down, something that can only be captured and created behind my camera. Speaking in photographs. I consider myself a capturer of moments. I photograph to tell a story and for the moments between movements.
My photographic style is considered raw, emotional, & original.
