I have tons of fun when I shoot. I am filled with energy, very active and very vocal with my models- give lots of direction and also enjoying and incorporating models ideas as they are presented to me. The best shoots for me are those where my models and I can build up an energetic back-and-forth synergy together.
______________________________________________
I was born in 1979 into a family of musicians and writers. I fell in love with photography when I was 13 and, luckily, I had a photogenic, cooperative, impossibly freckled little sister, Rachel, with whom to endlessly practice my craft. I then studied Photography for college Rhode Island School of Design (RISD).
I currently live and work in New York as a Fine Art and Commercial Photographer. I am represented by Caprice Horn Gallery in Berlin and my images are sold in galleries internationally. I have worked for Clients including Life, New York Times, Surface, Visionaire, Sony Records, Rolling Stone, Playgirl among others.
I have been the recipient of multiple awards, among then, Surface Magazine's Avant Guardian, Jen Beckman's Hey Hot Shot, Art and Commerce's Emerging Photographer, and recently one image was chosen (1/60) out of 15,000 images for the 2nd Annual Photography Masters Cup.
With my spare time, I arrange and perform in a Bulgarian acapella Vocal Quartet, Black Sea Hotel, based here in Brooklyn.
And, since 1997, which is now creeping up on 10 years, I have taken a Polaroid of myself everyday. I plan on pursuing this project for life.

saw one of your images on a models sight and just had to add you, no offense but female photographers are a rarity on here, and quality female photographers on here are few and far between

Kind of stumbled upon your work and, my gawd, you're amazing!
So unique and truly an inspiration.
I'm new to working with models and already instantly bored with the typical "Hey, look over there at something" modeling poses. I love how you've thrown all that out and created something so different and beautiful.
All the best to you,
Jonathan
