As a graduate of the College for Creative Studies in Detroit, my background and art education are primarily in the field of design and illustration, but photography has been a growing passion since 2002. My initial interest was in automotive subjects but my primary interest these days is fine art, pinup, "dark"glamour, fetish and other similar genres with models. No matter who I shoot, I view it as a collaboration between the subject(s) and I, and thrive on the interaction it takes to get us to a unique final image.
I'm looking to collaborate on projects with other creative people. They can be professional or personal, fine art or commercial. My personality can be rather contradictory and this is often reflected in the diversity of projects I choose and the people I work with. I have an attraction to the unusual and the outrageous. I love strong lighting, mood, color and texture. Conversely, subtlety and sophistication are themes I would like to pursue. Though I often shoot images that are simply objects of beauty unto themselves, I also love to tell stories or glimpses of them in my work. Much of my work is erotic in nature. I often prefer to express this in a way that slowly reveals the body or only partially reveals, leaving the viewer to engage their imagination to fill in the rest.
I'm doing primarily paid shoots at this time. Portfolio work, tear sheets, boudoir, glamour, portraits etc. TF is very limited until further notice.
Thanks for stopping in...

*Ongoing Projects:
1. The Gold Chair Project: I have this awesome gold vinyl chaise lounge chair. Words do not do it justice. I want to take photos of all kinds of people in it, on it over it, under it or around it. The styles will likely be very different with the chair being the one consistent element in all the shots. A shot of the chair:

2. I have a growing collection of wardrobe, with particular emphasis on vintage (Victorian, 20's-50's) goth/industrial and Asian styles with a bit of custom reconstructed/deconstructed stuff thrown in. I'm always looking to find models to shoot in these with either a particular idea or something improvised to suit a mood or location.
3. Water/wet themes. This could be anywhere from wetlook (Clothed or semi clothed but wet) to artistic nudes or partial nudes. I love translucency, as well as spraying water and other similar effects. I love what water does to thin clothing and how it drapes and sticks to the underlying figure. This could be in a shower or bath, in a pool, in a lake or stream or even on a beach.
All are on a TF basis.
