About Me

..I am a professional photographer who is passionate about it, whether it be people, places or things. When I shoot, I look for hidden qualities, bringing out either a genuine naturalness or very stylized sultriness ( for example- film noir ). I like to draw from a wide variety of influences. You can see more of my work at Loreaux.com
