For over 20 years my artwork has taken a myriad of turns, exploring a variety of creative outlets and mediums along the way. Although I have a preference for realism, the surreal aspects of my most recent work in Fine Art Photography and image manipulation dominates how I express my vision and satisfies those creative impulses more so than any other medium I have worked in.
The focus of my work is to create a setting, telling a story through form, light and color. I am not satisfied to simply capture a moment. I prefer to be more hands-on, creating a scene to evoke emotion, whether it is one of romance and beauty or something rather disturbing.
I had offered very limited TFP for models in the distant past, I no longer offer this because of my limited time and availability. I would appreciate not being continually asked to do portfolio work for free.
The studio is strictly commercial - I cannot offer individual shoots, portfolio building or test shoots.
For my fine-art series projects, I am working with models on an invitation-only basis. Those models will be contacted directly by me. You may send a request to be considered for such shoots, but you will only be contacted if and when the right project comes up.
Commissioned fine-art pieces are available.
