I'm a fine art photographer based in New York City, but I also do a fair amount of travel (often to Las Vegas). My primary interest in working with models is the fine art nude image in black & white. My work has been exhibited and published (see below) and you can see more of my images on my website (above).

I use film.  That’s because I love film and the process of creating fine art prints in a darkroom, which is the ultimate goal of my photography.  Digital cameras may be fine for commercial work where the bottom line rules supreme, but I believe that the process of creating art should be something more personal and more hands on.

So, if you’re intelligent and creative and would like to collaborate with me to create some beautiful nude photographic art, do let me know.  I look forward to hearing from you.

NOTE:  If you are interested in working with me, please send me a proper message and not a friend request.  Thank you.
