'Rock n' Roll Photographer'

About Me




I'm a professional "Rock n Roll" photographer. I also shoot fashion as well as commercial. I have to admit my passion is concert photography. I've worked with everyone from KISS and Britney Spears to Elton John and Snoop Dogg. My passion has taken me everywhere from New York to Los Angeles.

My Interests

Photography (of course!), traveling, movies (watching and directing), music and meeting new and interesting people! Hiking, camping, relaxing too.

I'd like to meet:

This is better answered as who I DON'T want to meet. I've shot Playboy Playmates and stood on stage with the biggest bands in the world so don't ask me to do FREE photo shoots. I mostly get this request from girls who think they're super-models simply because they have a bikini photo and a MySpace account and have TONS of weak, helpless guys falling at their feet. I don't care of you have 10 breasts and 12 record deals, if you don't PAY you don't get PROFESSIONAL pictures. Please don't take this the wrong way!

Music:

Everything from KISS and Van Halen to Gwen Stefani and the Beach Boys!

Movies:



Classic Horror Flicks, Friday the 13th, Halloween, JAWS...the list goes on and on. Some of my favorite actors: Bela Lugosi, Boris Karloff, John Candy, Sir Anthony Hopkins, Robert DeNiro (Midnight Run), Jerry Reed, Walter Mathau and Robin Williams in (The Survivors). The Survivors and Midnight Run are two of the most underrated movies ever made. I highly recommend them to anyone who loves comedy. Here's one from my latest shoot with Dick Warlock - "Michael Myers / Halloween 2 w/Jaime Lee Curtis and Donald Pleasence.
