SEXUAL ASSAULT: Whether verbal or physical is still assault and an infringement on the rights of the individual. For many it is a traumatic event that takes time for them to fully realize the extent of what happened.
I have dealt with several instances where models have contacted me after being assaulted by well known photographers. In all cases the photographers are well known with impressive work. However that does not give them the right to do what they did. The models worried about what to do since the photographers are so well known and feared their word would not be good enough and in many cases did nothing because of that.
All assault is emotional as well as physical and needs to be dealt with. Many victims never fully recover. Unfortunately in many cases the perpetrator gets away with it because the victims are too ashamed to file charges.
After talking with other models about these instances it became SADLY clear that some are more concerned that they get to work with a specific photographer and get the pictures than what that photographer has committed against others. If the assailant was a lesser known or poor quality photographer these same models would have no problem turning them away. That is their decision and I will respect their right to make it. However, in my opinion that is to slap the victims and kick them while they are down and then turn and support the very individual that committed the assault.
Here is my decision: If I know you are aware of these individuals and you choose pictures over victims then I WILL NOT support you and your modeling endeavors. I will stand by the victims and those that support them. If you need more information please PM me.

I have been around the world and have been doing photography for over 25 years. I love to show a dark side in my work but am a true romantic at heart. A bit of hippie, donât be surprised if you find me barefoot most of the time. I tend to have a laid back attitude until itâs time to shoot.

I have appeared in local publications and news, and my art is on display and being used by companies in Arizona. I am still small time but growing slowly and trying to stay true to my first love, art with strong emotions.
My style combines technical proficiency, patience, intuition, and artistic sensibilities. I look for the different angle and expressions that tell us who you are.
