I lived in Europe for 12 years where I started a graphic design/print company serving the fashion industry. Shortly thereafter I started shooting upon a prompting of Italian photographer - Sofia Riva. I have participated in 100s of small to large fashion and film productions all over Europe and Africa for catalog, advertisement, editorial, music video to commercial television. I have been in the fashion industry for over 20 years. I have collaborted with most of the top fashion designers around the globe for fashion shows and worked on many locations on four continents for 100s of television commercials, ad campaigns, catalog productions, editorial shoots from Ireland to Africa.
A few of the great photographers I have had the opportunity to work with and know: Sofia Riva, Mario Testino, Chris Simpson, Bill King, David Barnes, Aldo Fallai, Sante D'Orazio, Ron Contarsy, Bob Kreiger, Claus Wickrath, Pasquale Abbatista, Gio Barto, Manfredi Bellati, Fabrizio Gianni, Barry Elkins, Gio Belli, Flavio Bonetti, Sergio Caminata, Manlio Conte, Antonio Corbetta, Alberto Facchi, Giovanni Gastel, Fabrizio Gianni, Giovanni Lunardi, Rocco Mancino, Avi Meroz, Nadir Studio, Carlo Orsi, Gianni Rizzotti, Steven White, Sergio Verannes and many others - with special mention working with director film makers Brando Quilici and Folco Quilici in Rome. "We'll go for the King next time you come to Rome"....
Some print productions I have worked on: Vogue Italy and France, Amica, Mondo Uomo, Anna, GQ, Men and Women's Bazaar, Donna, Glamour, L'Uomo Vogue, Marie Claire, Vogue Spoza, l'Officiel, Oui, French and Italian Playboy, Emmanuel, Slazenger, Missoni Campaign, Hollywood Sportline from Brazil - just to name a few and many catalog productions from London to countries in Africa to the Maldives, Canary Islands, South of France - Cannes and Nice - Spain, Italy, France, Germany, Austria, Swizterland, England, Scotland and New York, New Jersey, L.A. and San Francisco.
Model agencies I have worked with throughout the world: NYC - Ford, IMG, Wilhelmina, New York Models, Next, Click, Zoli, Trump Models and Elite. L.A. - Wilhelmina West, MILANO: Fashion, Beatrice, Model Plan, Chic, Look Models, and Ricaardo Gay PARIS: First, Paris Planning, Best One and Karins ZURICH - PMS and Fotogen GERMANY - Model Team, Model Pool, Munich Models, Viva, Louisa and Talents. ENGLAND - Laraine Ashton. SPAIN: Stars
I am an artist in the pure sense of the word. You can see some of my work in the back of my portfolio. I have a large collection of over 700 images ranging in size from 2 feet to 9 feet tall - some beautifully mounted behind polished 1/4 inch plexiglass. I've been retouching for over 15 years starting before PS was born.
Our rates are reasonable - we do consider FT* depending on concepts, styling, model and availability. I have organized a production team of MUA, Hair Stylist and Wardrobe styling (great talent). The results of great teams ensure great results. That is our focus. Unique location is a specialty.
We can can create as simple or as complicated as you like or need..Drop me a line here on MM. I will respond promptly.
Hey, I hope all is well. Check my casting and message me if you are interested :)
