~ a list of veteran photographers dedicated to helping "new" models build their portfolios. Current international membership is 600+.


I have lived in the Washington DC area since 2001, moving here from southern California after several years living and traveling abroad - primarily Europe and the Middle East. I graduated from Georgetown University with a concentration on public policy and philosophy.

My focus is on fine art photography. Generally speaking, there is no authoratative definition of "fine art photography." However, most photographers agreee that fine art photography has an underlying idea that the creator of a given image aims at something more than a merely realistic rendering of the subject, and attempts to convey a personal impression.

I work on a wide variety of projects and don't consider myself a disciple of one school or another. For me, photography is about recording a moment in time and capturing, hopefully, a bit of truth - sometimes attractive, sometime not.

I take my work seriously. In the words of Edward Weston (1886-1958):

Photography to the amateur is recreation, to the professional it is work, and hard work too, no matter how pleasurable it my be.

Hard work or not, that certainly doesn't mean shoots cannot be fun. I have found that by collaborating and connecting with a model you create a superior image.

I post just a few select images on this site - visit my homepage for a comprehensive, searchable archive of images.

Comments on my work are appreciated - positive or not - and if you're interested in working with me, just give me a shout.

It's so hard to find art in US photographers photos. Thanks for your shoots, nice to see them. I hate those blured, plastic girls on most US pics. Yours are great!
