[ Actual Biography ]
Within photography, my passion is bound within dreams and imaginings inspired by spiritual explorations and lucid thoughts of self. The challenge is then to give birth to these visions physically within the studio...honestly without digital manipulation through experimentations with real elements such as fire, hand-made wardrobes, unorthodox lighting fixtures and shadowplay. All while attempting to balance the image with the essence and persona of the model as overall, this art is a collaboration of two.
Within this exploration, I am rebuilding my photography portfolio with new directions and focus which now include the following series:
A unity of spiritual idealisms and feminine sensuality while tributing the beauty of gnosis and free thought
A tribute to the divine feminine principles within cultural, mythological and spiritual idealisms
The envelopment of feminine beauty within elegant, delicate and exotic lushness
A tribute to the history's greatest sculpted works themed within mythology, culture and spirituality
An exploration of transcendence beyond the perceptions of mortality, emotion and anima
An ethereal form study of the sensuous feminine form, exotic fabrics and shadow
A fluid exploration of the human form free of gender and identity through second-skin fabric
Further details are through the image links above or at " www.dvsdetroit.com " as well as samples of the current work in progress. If you are interested in becoming a collaborative part of any of these projects, please fill out my model application so we can schedule a pre-meet for mutual comfort and to discuss ideas further. For your consideration, I always work within personal limits and an escort is welcome for your safety concerns. Model referrals are available for your review.

Music:

I never have limited myself to one genre of music as my tastes are based on my current emotional states or who I am with. My past ranges from Skinny Puppy to Ministry to Bauhaus to Depeche Mode to GBH and the rest of the typical 80's diversity. My present includes a preference for the exotic and ethereal from Delerium to Amethystium to Perfume Tree to Aria and much more. Then of course there is Perfect Circle, Kidney Thieves, Massive Attack, Sade, Esthero, Bjork, Tricky, Collide and way too many others to list. But there are those days of classical music, seedy jazz, movie soundtracks, industrial, garage, ska, old punk, flamenco, opera, tribal, electronica and the list goes on and on and on and...
