2020 Update:
I have been living overseas for several years, where photography only seems to happen for promotional events and weddings, thus I've only been shooting landscapes and travel stuff since 2013. However, I will return to the USA in early 2021 and am looking to start working with humans again.

I refer to myself as a fantasyland photojournalist than a fashion or erotic photographer. Nudity is nudity, and people are people... but there is a lot to people and my goal is to capture and communicate that in a way that is my own. I seek only to perfect my own craft. 90% of what I shoot is infrared. It is my preferred way of representing humans.

Please note that I shoot almost entirely for *trade
*Trade with me means that we will be collaborators. We will be shooting a shared vision. I'll work with you to get the images where you want them to be and you do the same for me. If money results from the images on your side, good. If money results from the images on my side, good. If we want to share profits, good.

If that seems sketchy to you, I am sorry. I like making images that are the result of trust.

That being said...

Models that I pay:
If there is a *very specific* look that I want to achieve for a personal project, and you do not do trades, I may pay you. If I pay you, I'll have you sign a thing that says I get to do whatever I want with the images and that you are not entitled to any future profits from them.

In other words- if I pay you, it's just business.


Other places you can find me-

(each of these sites features different work)

I've worked with many people in the Portland, OR, San Francisco and Los Angeles areas. If you have questions about my trustworthiness, ask me for a reference. Most of the models I've worked with are not on MM any longer (too much flakiness).
