#1 Before all the rest of the stuff - thank you to God my father for giving me everything I have in life including ridiculous peace, love and joy and all my talent at photography. I LOVE to pray for people - if you want prayer for anything message me and I will pray for you.
#2 To my wonderful parents who took the ultimate gamble and adopted me when I was 6 months old and who showed me what love means - I still tear up when I look at their pictures and wish thousands of miles didn't seperate us.
#3 Thanks to my amazing wife of 18 years who supports my pursuit of my passion.
#4 The models and makeup artists who have taken time to work with me and without whom, I would be lost.

"No more photo's, No more photo's" - the words of a legend.
There is a legend in this photograph - not me - photographer Harry Benson. Harry, born in Scotland, arrived in America with the beatles in 1964. Harry has photographed every US president from Eisenhower to George W Bush. monumental moments in his career include being feet away from Bobby Kennedy the night he was assassinated, in the room with Richard Nixon when he resigned, on the Meredith March with Martin Luther King Jr., next to Coretts Scott King at the funeral of her husband, at the building of the Berlin Wall and when it came down. After spending from 1970 to 2000 with Life Magazine, he is now under contract with Vanity fair Magazine.

TFCD Requests -
The only TF* I am now doing right now is TFM - Time For Me
I only shoot TFFRI - Time For Fully Retouched Images - This will translate to 1 retouched image per look because that is the only expressions of my work that I will allow to be released.
I appreciate all the requests to shoot TFCD etc. and the fact that you see the value in my work is always encouraging. Please read the following.
At this point in the development of my business and future goals, I no longer shoot TFCD for 'experience'. I have specific goals that I wish to accomplish and projects that I want to shoot in the next 6-8 months and I am not shooting to fill out my portfolio.
Thanks to the team of wonderful makeup artists who in combination with the wonderful models continue to make me look good. In alphabetical order sorted by last name
