About Me

"Lighting isn't everything~~It's the only thing!"--Vittorio Storraro

And when I'm not looking at the light....

I'm mainly looking to work on My Concepts, High End Portraiture, Fashion and Lifestyles.....To Tell a Story and make it interesting and Unique~Magnifique!!

In my spare Time (which isn't often)....I Light Movie Sets (for 27,519 Union Hours of my life), Hang with my daughter at the Beach on Maui (she surfs better than You!) and spend way to much time on M.M.!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

THE GAME AND HOW WE PLAY IT!!

The one thing Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt, Denzel Washington, Giselle, Kate Moss, Kristi Turlington and every other Actor and Model seen in media have in common is that a great photograph got them noticed and their foot in the door.....

....That said....

Very very limited TFP, unless you're with a Major Agency or have Major Agency Potential~~I've got mouths to feed (Trust me, you were expensive when you were little!!).

I pay Models when the Client Pays me!!


My Rates with MUA/Hair and Stylist are reasonably reasonable.....Takes Money to make money!!

A Funky Fun Fantasmic time will be had when we Shoot~~I guarantee it, or your money back!

NUDITY~~If you do or don't, I do not care, BUT--Most Major Actresses and Models have at some point....When Italian Vogue sez loose the Brassier and Bustier, what are you gonna do??

Acting and Dance lessons~~Take them!!....Expression, movement and attitude is what a model is all about....I love to shoot with performance trained professionals ~~They just get it and go for it!!

If your comfortable and completely relaxed while your posing?...you're not doing it right!!

ThickSkin....Is a must in this Biz!!

HAVE YOUR NAILS DONE!!!...or we will not shoot!(It's a pet peeve of mine because it makes a difference and it's a bitch to Photoshop nails!!)

No, I don't want to date You... but, you can check with my girlfriend and see what she says?(Joke)

I'm Completely Open collaborative creative ideas....What do you want in your BOOK?

Always willing to test with talented MUA's, Hair Artists and Stylists!!!(You are the wind beneath my wings and you get paid something, no matter what!!)

Comment 4 Comment?? No...Maybe...OK, I'll do my best!!


Party On!!!!!!!!!!!!!


~~~~~QUOTES TO LIVE BY~~~~~


"If you never did, you should. These things are fun, and fun is good."~~
  Dr. Seuss

"Pain is Temporary, Film is Forever!"~~Stephen Spielberg (I heard him say it, personally.)

"Art is anything you can get away with."~~Andy Warhol

"I surf, therefore I Am."~~that'd be Me

"No Rain, No Rainbows."~~Uncle Kimo

"Really, have your nails done when we shoot!!"~~that'd be ME again


Oh hey...I won!!

"Selfmadphoto is one of my favorite photographers to shoot with! His wit and charisma alone will have you laughing and feeling at ease with the shoot. I think this kind of dynamic is monumental when shooting- first time or 100th time! It builds a very natural flow between model and photographer that feels familiar and genuine. I highly suggest shooting with Selfmadphoto. :)" Read less
