About Me

Though my background for 30 years has been mostly Photojournalism, I've been into Fashion since watching Cindy Crawford's "House of Style" on MTV. I have a younger sister, was raised among mostly female family & their friends, and Beauty makes me happy.

However, I've also witnessed the negative effects of The Industry's influence. Models are people, not objects, meant to portray women, not betray them. I'm "body positive" in the sense of "healthy" and "natural". As such, I'm very against photographic body manipulation.

My primary intent is to help models look their most beautiful as naturally as possible. Balance color & light, and airbrush only unfortunate blemishes. If a model/client desires more? We can work with a Retoucher, but there's a point where "photograph" becomes "illustration".

As for photoshoots, I strive for them to be fun and not overly serious. An enthused model who's into the shoot looks better than a miserable, detached one. I care most about personality. Success requires teamwork and working together professionally throughout scheduling, shoots, proofs and edits.

My ultimate goals? Publication, marketing, and promotion of models & self for further commercial work. Let's make money having fun and looking fabulous.
