BIO

My interest in photography began when I studied art in college. It was further sharpened by a career in the entertainment industry advising both celebrities and newcomers about imaging and marketing.

Getting to observe top photographers, such as Ellen von Unwerth (Guess? Jeans, Claudia Schiffer, Anna Nicole), inspired me to move behind the camera. I began with landscapes, collages, and abstracts, which I regularly exhibited and sold at coffeehouses throughout the Northeast where I also performed live music.

In March 2011, the Weir Farm Art Center in Connecticut sponsored me as their Artist in Residence which features two exhibits of my fine art photography.

In my work here on MM, I've enjoyed using dramatic lighting, bold color and creating interesting sets to showcase the model's personality. I like creating images that reveal a little something about what's going on behind the model's eyes.

SHOOTS

1. TF

Please feel free to contact me about TF. Just understand that I may decline if it's not something I can use in my port or at my exhibits. I may also decline if I don't have the time because of paid work or exhibit schedule.

But don't be discouraged about asking. It's simply a matter of needs and timing. I'm open to your concepts and I can also suggest ideas.

2. Paid Assignments

My rates are very reasonable and I have some degree of flexibility depending on the kind of shoot you are seeking, the location, and other budgetary factors.

I have over two decades of professional experience in the entertainment industry. So many models like that I am thorough, organized and an active communicator, which helps make the shoot go as smoothly and as enjoyably as possible.

CONNECT WITH ME

I'm looking to make contacts and eventually develop professional relationships rather than collecting a long list of anonymous "friends." Quality over quantity is preferred:

1. Friend Requests

Priority responses are given to requests that are actually "friendly" - i.e., you view my port and leave comments, you include a personal introduction with your request, etc.

2. Social Networking
