About Me

Most of my training is in photojournalism, as you can see by reviewing the information in my resume. That training, however, has given me a unique perspective . . . something I feel is carried through to my images. Models that have worked with me would likely tell you that I am one of the more relaxed photographers they have worked with.

Rather than laying out an extremely structured shoot, I would rather get the major details like location, time and style for the shoot set in stone. From there, I prefer to just show up on location and let things take their natural direction. I hate shots that look posed . . . something I guess I brought along with me from my work in journalism.

I have worked with models that have had a wide range of experience and styles. All of the work I have done with models until now has either been portfolio work or for fine art projects. Because of this, I generally have the flexibility to adjust to the model and the atmosphere to produce natural images that present the model's best attributes while minimizing any flaws.

I'm open to any suggesions or ideas, willing to negotiate shoots on a TFP basis with select models, and ALWAYS looking for models to work with on my fine art nude projects. Please, don't hesitate to ask any questions.


My Interests

Photography is my passion . . . it's not what I do. It's what I am.Outside of my photography, I have a beautiful daughter who has captured my heart. I love being outside. I dabble in web design.

I'd like to meet:

I'm mainly on MySpace to network with models, photographers and makeup artists in and around Utah. However, I'm always up for making new friends.View All Friends | View Blog | View Pics | Add Comment

Music:

My interests here are too wide to list. It's easier to say what I don't like. Chances are if it's not rap or the polka, I'll listen to it.

Movies:

Most of the time I don't watch movies for the story line or content. I'm drawn to movies that are filled with great camera work and lighting. I'm always using inspiration from the big screen to create my on images and I'm always watching for great use of shadow and compelling angles.

Television:

Check out my comments for movies . . . the same applies here.

Books:

To be honest, I don't read a lot outside of my photography books and magazines. I'm a visual person and have rarely found an author that can write with enough detail that I can see the story without a lot of excess.
