About me

Current Status/Mini Blog:

Nov 23th 2009

Apologies to the people that has sent me messages the last few weeks. I've been traveling a bunch lately.

New Orleans was nice but the storm did affect things..

Now currently in Key West but will be back in time for Thanksgiving.

I will be shooting a girls holding up fish calendar project. Talking to potential sponsors now. If you're interested in the project please send me a message.

TV commercial shoot for Bigkahunashowers.com in Stuart, Fl.

I'm starting to expand my horizon in the HD video world. Will put up more about video projects soon.

------------------------------------------------------------
TFP Status: looking to do some car shoot, fashion shoot(need to work with MUA and stylist), commercial shoot. Luxury homes.
------------------------------------------------------------

Currently interested in networking with MUA and Stylist.

Hello MM!

I am a photographer based out of Tampa, Florida.
Shooting however, provides plenty of opportunity for travel so basically I go wherever the camera may lead me. Currently I am working with several outdoor magazines. Loving the outdoors myself, shooting on location and of course the outdoors comes naturally.

Though I do shoot in a studio at times, I prefer the open air.
I have a love/hate relationship with mother nature. It can be adventurous at times when she throws at me clouds, rain, wind, and storms. Other times it can be so beautiful and magical, no amount of lighting in a studio could ever come close to duplicating. The warmth, the ever changing colors it offers is well worth it when it all comes together.

If you feel we can collaborate on a project, feel free to shoot me a message.

Seize the day and lets create something Cool!

================================================
Disclaimer: smile

================================================

I do not have a romantic story of passion, desire, inner consciousness, love for beauty blah blah blah.

No, I have not been photographing for 40 years. No, I have not lived a star studded life in LA, Miami, London, New York, Milan, Paris or any other fashion Mecca.

My work has NOT appeared in Vogue, Glamour, FHM, Maxxim or any other "HOT", "Trendy" fashion publications. Not that I don't want it to.. it's just that my phone hasn't rang quite yet. lol

Besides, If I had all that going for me why would I be here, right?? Hey I'm just being up front and honest.

One more thing: My mission here is not to add 500,000 people to my list of friends and comment on every photo possible on MM. I am here to shoot and network. If I'm lucky I'll make a couple new friends.
