I’ve been directly influenced by an array of 20th Century master photographers who attempted to use Black & White images as a way of fueling their fascination with the world around them. Although we’ve currently been propelled into a precarious and often unharmonious relationship with technology, my intention is to create art which speaks to everyone, regardless of whether or not they own a computer, use a cellular phone or visit museums. I want it to be a pure experience made of simple materials which may be felt sensually.

I currently shoot Black & White 35mm film. The authenticity of my images is made within this framework.

I believe in letting go of convention, in finding the right people to work with, and in both photographer and model coming away from a shoot feeling as though that experience gave them a confidence and enjoyment they didn't have previously. This process gives new found energy to everyone involved. I like to collaborate with my models so that their imagination can fuse with my own.

I am currently most interested in shooting portraits, art nudes, erotic and fetish photographs. Shoots are done on location with natural light with very little preparation beforehand. Spontaneity is very important.

I am in North Adams MA full time now. You are responsible for your own transportation. I am not interested in working with models who want to be paid large sums hourly, as this is a collaborative arrangement.

Serious means showing up on time. Everything else is just fun and discovery.
