I am the CEO of "The Black Arts." A company that does a lot of promotions for authors and other creative professionals. We do book cover art, web sites, promotions forgeries etc. As I stated before, many of my clients are authors. My wife is an author. Over half of my clients have been on the New York times Best Selling list and a fourth of them have hit the top. Some have even have had their works turned into movies. Clients include: Holly Black (The Modern Faerie Tale Series, The Curseworkers, The Spiderwick Chronicles), Cassandra Clare (The Mortal Instruments Series, The Infernal Devices Series), Phil Bildner (Sluggers), Chris Claremont (Creator of the X-Men), and many more.

I am also a classically trained illustrator with a Masters degree from SVA in NYC. I have been published by hasbro, Maverick LTD, Simon & Shuster, the US Air Force and many more.

For my work I need models who can act without words. In the movie Blade Runner many of the actors (Harrison Ford, Rutger Hauer, and Sean Young) chose to skip lines and use expressions and movements to reach the viewer. I'm looking for that in every shoot I take because I shoot for people that white stories and really I get about 1 page to tell a story that they get hundreds too.

I always pay and I never shoot nudes. I use costumes made by the same companies that make movies like Paramount, MGM, Sony or real attire. If I am shooting for a French Resistance war novel I will get something worn by someone who was there if I can.

But all my training, sets, software and props are nothing without a good model. I like to split direction time because you know you better than me and if you can do the magic that happened at the end of Blade Runner I want to shoot it.
