About me

I'm a professional artist, designer and weirdo. I've been called "a savior for the sadistic". Hot-rod hearses, vintage chainsaws, grindhouse horror, bikini-clad zombie girls and custom cars brim my meager existence. Make no mistake, I'm not a one-trick-pony. I'm about as eclectic as they come.

Most of my time behind the camera is spent making cute things look creepy. Call it a sick fascination, if you will. Combining something beautiful with a touch of the grotesque or unnerving has always appealed to me.

I take my work very seriously, so please, you should to. If we schedule dates/times to shoot, be punctual and do not cancel last minute. Or if you do, please have a very good reason. If you require stylists, let me know before hand and that can be arranged (as a separate fee) so there's no last-minute scrambling. For the most part, my studio is the underbelly of the Motor City, so don't be afraid to get a little dirty.

I don't do fashion. I don't do glam. I don't do fancy-pants artsy shoots. I'm down and dirty in the filth of Detroit's underbelly (and sometimes in Toronto). If you're looking for high-brow images that belong in $10 magazines, then keep moving because you won't find that here. What you will find is a photographer/designer that likes to work with the models to create not-your-average imagery. And to hopefully piss at least some people off with said imagery. I don't photoshop/airbrush my images to make the model look better, either. Aside from little things here and there, of course. If you need heavy retouching to model, maybe you shouldn't be modeling. I prefer to capture people as they are, good or bad. That's how I roll.

I am currently not taking on any TFP/TFCD work. This is how I stay fed, please respect that. On that note, my rates are very, very affordable (almost dangerously so). So don't be afraid to ask.

Thank you for taking the time and you can see much, much more here:
