Hello. Thank you for checking out my work.

What should you know about me?

1} I am not a "fashion" photographer. I make art, and I like a good creative challenge.

2} With enough time and resources, I prefer to design and build everything the model is wearing and everything that's in the shot with them. Think of it as a sculpture, with people as the medium.
Then I just photograph the results.

3} I don't photograph clothing with large, obnoxious brands on them. Unless Tommy Hilfiger is paying for me to shoot his stuff, I'm not creating an advert for him.

Not much scares me artistically - I love trying new modes and mediums of expression. I like high-style, not high-mindedness. 
Please drop me a line - I'm always interested in talking to people who are interested in creating something brilliant. Not adverse to trading efforts in the TF-whatever sense, as long as the project is interesting and mutually beneficial.

Smart, creative models with interesting ideas make me happy. Fortune favours the bold - I don't deal in pastel shades.

Regarding friend requests, tagging, etc. - I appreciate the kind comments and tags that people leave, and I will frequently leave similar comments to express my admiration or excitation over images, similarly I will send friend requests to those whose work I enjoy and want to be able to quickly access. I do not, however, believe that compliments are a "quid pro quo" obligation. Please do not request such.

I don't believe in total freedom for the artist. Left on his own, free to do anything he likes, the artist ends up doing nothing at all. If there's one thing that's dangerous for an artist, it's precisely this question of total freedom, waiting for inspiration and all the rest of it.   -Federico Fellini

First, I want to compliment you on your work. It's obvious that you put a lot of work into your shots and the results are stunning!

I would love to work with you sometime! I'm actually going to be up in Seattle this weekend, but I'm thinking it might a little too last minute...

Haha, nice to meet someone from home, here in the NW. I've only been here for about 4 months, but... moving along and making some awesome friends. I was in Chi-town for a bit, too, haha. Anyways, nice to meet you, and thank you for the compliment and the tag. You've got some nice shots there.
