Quote~
"Within the shadows and light is an intangible and evasive phenomena that artists and photographers dwell within. The perfect moment...Shibui. These ambient slivers of life that we capture with our cameras and our brushes transcend time and become both timeless and epic. My passion is to capture these moments in each of our lives. Our art is the music drifting through the air, as essential to our humanity as air and water."  JM
Beauty is everywhere if we stop to look, listen....and imagine.

Thank you for dropping by the gallery. My deepest gratitude to the amazing photographers, models, talented stylists, make up artists and assistants who I have had the privilege to work with. It is within these collaborations that the most tantalizing and timeless visual images are created. Over half of the portfolio in this collection are fashion oriented, the remainder are focused on the human form as art.

Many of my paintings are inspired by the Pre Rafaelite painters ... my passion for the classical themes and elegant ambience of the Renaissance era may be evident in these compositions. Whatever we create, the goal is to celebrate the human body in all its beauty, its mystery and magic. A new contemporary collection is under way that incorporates mixed media and is both volatile and unique, an emergency of both realism and abstraction.

******At this time I am offering very limited TFP with select models. If you have been contacted to pose for me, it is for trade. This consists of only edited photos ( 7-10 for portfolio ) from the session. Never Raw Images. (your rights to the images I provide to you, limited to promotional use only)  Meaning you may use them on your own personal website/blog or social media pages.  Standard Photographer/Model contract required. No models under 18 years of age. TF : minimum 2 hour shoot. Average 4 hours.

Regarding TFP/CD's, as stated above, I am willing to do trades only if it is mutually beneficial.  This means we both get photos that are focused on our goals and portfolios. Before seeking or accepting a TFCD with me, please read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TFCD so there is no misunderstanding as to what a TFCD means.  All trades cost time and money.  I pay the rent of the studio/location.  You arrange for the make-up artist or do it yourself. This is a win/win scenario for those who wish to upgrade and build an award winning portfolio that will gain work in a variety of potential venues. Quid, pro quo.

Standard Photographer/Model Contract: Prior to our photo session, we will exchange the protocol and specifics important to the shoot. It is important that this document be signed and emailed back so that we are all on the same page. Billable time for either party begins the moment actual photography starts, not before the first click of my camera.

Photographic Commissions and Specific Portfolio and Development work is negotiable but my charges start at  $200 for 2 hours.  $400 for 4 hrs. $800 day rate ( eight hours).  Final Studio Editing is an art form that should always be appreciated for the amount of time required, average time is 1-4 hours per image.

Oil on Canvas Portraits and Figurative s ( gold leaf and duotone drawings ) are also available to Collectors. Artist will work directly from your own photo to complete the work of art under your direction and articulation. Fine Art giclee canvas prints in Limited Editions are also available on select images.

With deep sadness we reflect on the life and beauty of Windy West, a wonderful actress, model, spokesperson and friend. I celebrate her life in my photos we took together and remember her amazing talents and beauty.
