more recent work here, on the first few pages of my JPGmag page.
◙ My focus is to make beautiful photographs & build a portfolio.
* Ladies: I will not ask you to bare anything except maybe your shoulders.
* Gents: Show it & I'll shoot it! ;.) Nothing beyond shirtless.
* Escorts: Welcome & encouraged.
◙ Location, location, location ....
* Always looking for interesting places.
* Willing to travel (within reason) for a good location or a great model.
◙ Lingerie & Nude
* I intend to continue doing lingerie and artistic nude work with select models.
* If you're interested in that, PM me.
* I will
not surprise you during a shoot with a request for such &
certainly not without discussing first in advance.
Message me if you think you'd like to work with me
I'm only doing TFCD.

Some general themes I'm thinking about these days are:
- Motion, selective focus, and de-focusing.
- Intimacy & longing
- emergence and transformation
- Introspection
- Vulnerability
- Contradiction
- Surreality and ethereality
- Voyeurism & exhibitionism
- Joy and grief
- Alienation
- Emotional essence
- Artistic nude
- Artistic erotica
- whatever else comes up in the moment
I don't try to force anything.
... just go with the flow, enjoy the process & watch for the moment.
Everything will unfold perfectly when the time comes.
I am not heavily concept driven, preferring to let the location, wardrobe, and look of model drive the creative process.

Why do I make photographs?
I do it because I am driven to do it.
It is somehow part of my nature.
I do it for the love of photography & the joy of realizing a vision.
It is an expression of my own unique view of the world.
In many ways, it is a form of self portraiture.
I started working with models, because I love people in photographs.
A landscape doesn't look right to me unless there's someone in it.
For me, the human element is everything.
Same goes for street photography
... another genre of photography I love.
I don't make any money doing it, or from it, and don't expect to.
I do spend money on it, though. Every shoot costs ...
What I do is not commercially marketable.
Nor do I believe it is art worthy.
But, it has value to me, and that's enough.
I don't produce images for any particular purpose, or commercial consumption.
I only record moments that I hope will speak with their own voice,
and in so doing, will speak for me & somehow confirm my own existence
by proving I was there; the unseen eye.
I'm not a professional, nor do I consider myself a hobbyist or amateur,
yet here I am, unable to define my role as a photographer
beyond being some kind of catalyst.
