In my personal work, I am not concerned with portraying reality.
My favorite photographers are David LaChappelle, Dave Hill, Jill Greenburg, Philip Toledano, and Gilles-Marie Zimmerman.
Boards of Canada, a Scottish electronica band, has inspired many of my photographs.
My rates are probably more reasonable than you think.
I shoot on Canon DSLRs.
