My photographic glamour mission statement.
   
    It has been said, that, " It’s better to look good, than to feel good. "  It is my belief, that by making a woman look good, she will feel better about herself.
    
     My photo business was developed with the belief that all women want to feel sexy and desirable.  I believe that to accomplish this, she must be made up to look, sexy and desirable.  My goal is to produce an image of a woman that emotes, these feelings, in her, at the time they are produced and then again, when she views them, days, or years later.
    
     I love women.  I try to understand the curves and shape of a woman’s body, in order to make a statement about the provocative woman " within."  This will allow her to project an inner beauty that all women possess.  I want her to recognize, the existence of the sexual being within, and then to feel comfortable, when revealing that being for me to capture on film.
    
     This is why, to photograph a woman effectively, an artistic seduction must take place, between the woman and myself, ( Camera ).  This must be as if, we are both, enflamed by the Tango, the two of us dancing as one, her movements, mirroring my own, being consumed, by its fire.
    
     In the end, it does not matter, if she has a fetish for being a little naughty, or a little nice, because I want to see a woman feeling great, knowing she looks her best.  Whether, she is wearing a beautiful swim suit, sexy lingerie, or a formal gown, she should be professionally coiffed and made up, then posed, to show her at her best.  She should be pampered, made to feel like a princess, in order for her to look like one, on film.  I try to imagine a woman, the way I would like to see her appear in an image, then, capture that fleeting moment of beauty, for eternity. "

     " These are my feelings, about how I want a woman to appear in one of my images. "
