About me
Hi! I'm a fashion/commercial photographer in the Southern California area (Ventura, which is Los Angeles-adjacent). I love shooting people. I love making beautiful people look even more "beautiful-er". I shoot digital because I have to, but I shoot film when I want to. I've worked with Ford, LA Models, iModel/Models International, NEXT and Otto.

I earned my stripes shooting family and children's portraits. Why is this relevant? Because I have yet to have a fashion shoot go so horribly wrong that it could compare to some of the children's shoots I've been on! I get along with people, I'm silly, I'm fun, and I will wear a goofy hat if you provide one. I treat everyone from client to model to crew with respect, because I can't do my job without any of those people.

About TFPs: I'm happy to say that I rarely have the time anymore, unless there's something laser-specific I need for my portfolio. However…if you have the makings of a high-fashion model, please drop me a line. And by that I mean: 5' 8" or taller, dress size 0-4. If you don't meet those requirements, please say hi anyway, because I'm sure you're a wonderful person. That's just the sort of body type I need for my 'book'. The exception would be for 'beauty' shoots: if you have a face that could launch a thousand ships, and a complexion that would make alabaster look like sandstone, let's talk!

Oh and the best way to get my attention is to talk about how non-digital film photography just makes you all googly. I might break out my retro cameras just for that alone. But no one reads these profiles…

On the subject of friends: if you friend me and you already have 2,621 friends, I'm going to feel unappreciated and delete your request. If you happen to be in SoCal and there's a slight chance we might work together, then I'll accept your request. I'm not into spam-friending, either receiving or accepting.
