Brief interview-
Q: Do I believe in accessing the soul by revealing the body?
A: Yes, sometimes.

I love what I do and
Hope you do too.

MY PHOTOGRAPHY IS ALL ABOUT SEEING!
AND I WANT TO SHOW THE WORLD WHAT I SEE.
MY PHOTOS ARE WORKS OF THE IMAGINATION.

PHOTOGRAPHY IS ABOUT CONNECTION,
NOTHING ELSE.

MY MISSION IS TO CREATE STRIKING AND MEMORABLE IMAGES.
I WANT TO CAPTURE A PIECE OF YOUR SOUL.
AND SHOW IT TO THE WORLD!

NO, NOT CAPTURE, WITNESS!

THERE ARE PRIMITIVE PEOPLES
WHO WOULD UNDERSTAND MY PHOTOGRAPHY COMPLETELY:
I WANT TO STEAL YOUR SOUL!

I AM PASSIONATE ABOUT WHAT I DO.
I WANT YOU TO SEE THAT
THE FIRST MOMENT YOU LOOK AT MY WORK.

I see my models as beautiful and individual,
and I shoot them the way I see them.
I am a mirror, a very special mirror.

We are all, models and photographers, searching for that primal image, the beholding of which will transform us. I think we may never find it, but the search is quite wonderful, and along the way we catch glimpses. Faces seen in a crowd, marveled at, then lost.

I need to be in love with each model I shoot.
At least
while I have my camera in my hand.

I need my model
to abandon herself to my camera,
body and soul!

Beauty for me is always individual,
emotionally authentic and expressive.
Never generic, never abstract, cannot be faked.

My vision requires I be
spontaneous, in the moment,
open to inspiration.

Don't ask me for my specific plan for a photoshoot.
I usually don't know what I'm doing until after I've done it.
And sometimes not even then.

A splash of serendipity and Wabi-Sabi enliven any image for  me.

My mission is to illuminate the intersection of spirit
and character, to reveal the core
significance of the person I'm photographing. 

My best images are emotionally intimate headshots.
But but in all my photos, always, communion
and the exploration of the mystery of self are paramount.

We are all creatures of light and shadow!
The allure, the heat is in the friction generated
when they rub up against each other.

I encourage my models to bring all
their personal style, creativity, imagination,
ideas and dreams to the shoot.

Sometimes I'm just a semi-skilled technician with a nice camera.
It is the model who is the true artist.
This knowledge is very liberating for me!

I have been very lucky
to have worked with all the models I have.
Here’s to ‘em!

You are looking for a photographer.
I am always looking for a muse.
Or at least to be amused!

Escorts who are not problems are not a problem.

"TAKE YOUR PASSION AND MAKE IT HAPPEN!"
- B71 Photos

NOTE TO PHOTOGRAPHERS:
Another photographer on MM once accused me
of trying to steal "his" models.
Please, STEAL "MY" MODELS!!!
I am enthusiastic about the talent, poise, commitment and beauty
of all the models in my port and especially of my top friends.
I heartily recommend them to you for your next project.

NOTE: I require complete creative comtrol from concept to final image.
I edit all my photos myself. No retouchers need apply.
