About me
Regrettably, my day job isn't as a photographer, therefore the best way to define myself is as a serious and passionate photographer.  With that said however, I have been fortunate to work on every Continent accept for one... and that's not for long (see below for details)
With this travel, goes the camera gear.

Each of us has an artistic ability.
I strive to express mine through photography.  I Love being behind the camera seeking to create that special Image.  I enjoy working with models; capturing their creativity  and  individual beauty.
I have done some studio work,  but have a passion for natural outdoor settings.
I shoot a variety of content.  I am interested in artistic, glamour, and fine art nudes that have a dramatic feel, whether rendered in color or B/W.

I take my Photography very seriously.
I also enjoy working with models who want to build portfolios with diverse content. Whether you are a new model just getting started, or an experienced model looking for fresh material; I will collaborate with you to create images that we will both desire to display and share.

Models: You should Always feel free to include Escorts to any shoots. This is Not an issue, You need to feel comfortable and at ease to make a shoot work.

I have a number of ideas and thoughts for shoots.  I'm also very eager to hear about ideas or concepts you may have which we can team up on in creating some splendid imagery.
I may undertake TFP/TFCD depending upon availability and creative objectives.  Please contact me with requests and concepts.

*** I am currently looking for uniquely Tattooed models ***
