I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

First of all, if I have asked to be your friend, it usually means I have an idea and I'd like to photograph you someday when I'm in your town. No other motives, no bullshit.Since my first "model" shoot in the 9th grade, my passion has always been photographing women. Today, I am best known for my tattoo photography and I am the author of "The Illustrated Woman", senior photographer for International Tattoo Art Magazine and contribute to several other magazines in 4 countries. I also have shown my work at museums like The American Museum of Natural History in NYC and MOCCA in Toronto. I'm a partner of tattoos.com and the Lyle Tuttle Museum.I also shoot model portfolios, vintage pin-ups and portraits. I continue to travel the US and the world taking pictures and getting tattooed and you can usually find me at most tattoo conventions.I have a degree in art and photographed fashion for many years before tattooing. I'm a night owl who likes a good drink, likes to dance and likes all kinds of loud music. I don't have children or a 401k and I can't retire because that would mean I'd have to get a job (old joke).

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

I'd like to find pin-up models for glamor and pin-up shoots and mod looking models for some retro work. I like working with "amateurs" and know how to present a relaxed atmosphere (otherwise it's work and I get paid to work). I'm always willing to update my portfolio and am willing to help update yours. You don't have to be tattooed, although I'm always looking for models for mag covers. I can shoot here, there or anywhere and I'm on the road a lot. I'm always open to new ideas and I usually travel with outfits, props and a full studio set-up.
