About Me

I'm here to network, market my skills and talents, promote the projects I'm working on, make new contacts, clients, socialize, bullshit and find a few friends here or there because what else are you suppose to do on here.So, here's the basic deal. I've been a successful self-taught professional photographer, graphic designer, magazine editor, web designer and action sports consultant within the freestyle motto x, bmx & snowboarding industries for the past 12 years. I've worked with some of the best athletes in the world and have over 10,000 published images or art in countless magazines around the world. In 2001 I founded and create a magazine with Larry Flynt Publications (LFP) called MX Machine Magazine, which is now dust in the wind. But I love it will it lasted. My photography career and design firm "Ciotti Imaging Company" has allowed me to travel the world; usually in a last minute trip too and I love ever stressful moment in it. I've worked with the best action sports companies in the world, like Fleshwound Films (aka Crusty Demons of Dirt), Metal Mulisha, RED BULL, ESPN, FUEL TV, Arsenal MX.com, Bluetorch.com, 54321 TV, Etnies, Mack Dawg, Fox, No Fear, Utopia Optics, DVS, Metzger Motorsports, Troy Adamitis Films, Moto XXX, Cluth Films, Von Zipper, Black Flys, Vans, Skin Industries, Real Deal Ride Shop, Dangerous Pirates, Bear Mountain, Snow Summit, Mt. High, Mammoth, Snow Valley, Racer X, Carbon Magazine, X-Rider, Transworld Media and the list goes on..........Besides my biz, I have a major craving to ride my snowboard whether it's powder, slushy, park, freeridin', gray skies or bluebird, I'm down to go ride. On another note, I enjoy the great outdoors, rock climbing, fly fishing, exploring the wilderness and taking photographs of what mother nature left us.ALSOJUST SO YOU KNOW ALL YOU DANGEROUS PIRATES OUT THERE!!! I ONLY CREATE SOME OF THE ART, BANNERS & DESIGN WORK FOR DANGEROUS PIRATES!!! I DON'T OWN IT, THEY ARE A CLIENT OF MINE AND MY FRIEND DANGEROUS D is THE CAPTAIN of THAT SHIP. HE RUNS THE SHOW.

I prefer Models who can do the job, work to obtain the look desired, be sexy, confident, optimistic, creative, sensual, sexual while of course not being scared behind the lens. It's a JOB, don't bitch! And no I'm not one of those photographers who needs to posts there girly photos up to show them off like a trophy collector. I run a business, not a photo meat market. I'll keep that shit for you to post unless I'm using it as a new marketing piece or portfolio piece. Standard issue....Not to mention ladies...I'm super chill and happy to be married to my wife Deanna, so don't try to lure me into temptations. I've also got a son named "HUNTER" who will be arriving in Jan. 07, his mother & I are excited to meet him when he pops out. LOL!Anybody as far as trying to be my friend, just treat me like you want to be treated. Sounds simple. Plus I hate fake people so just be you. This is my underground network for people of interest.FOR ALL DESIGN & PHOTOGRAPHY INQUIRES-LEAVE ME A MESSAGE

Formula for Success

"There is no correlation at all between success and hour worked."

rotten sweetness

The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low price has been forgotten.
