Born and raised in Oregon I am an all around artist and photographer. Completely self taught, I have never taken any formal training for photography. I love experimentation, fashion, fantasy, make-up, taboos... I can do just about anything. I term my creative process "Guerrilla Photography" as I am willing to shoot anywhere and any time and I don't need lots of expensive equipment to do it. I proudly (but not arrogantly) choose NOT to employ the help of programs such as Photoshop. I rely more on my skills as an artist/photographer to execute. I use minimal editing, highlighting and softening, but I do NOT airbrush.

What I can say about my work is I like it to be refined, classy but somehow pushing boundaries. I always intend to capture my subject in their most intimate, mysterious and forbidden perspectives, to the BEST of my ability. Each person has their own story to tell, and that is part of why I take photographs... I love exploring each new friend's unique characteristics. Personally, I find today's philosophy of editing out every single uniqueness deplorable. Everyone looks the same and no one is as they appear to be. I want to capture each gem in it's finest light, making each person feel beautiful, unique and confident is of the utmost importance to me!

All of the photos on Model Mayhem are portraits/fashion related, if you wish to see my nature/candids/architecture/paint work please see below:
