Photographer/Producer/Director/Marketing Guru I can't stand writing about myself. What's there to tell, I'm a fashion and beauty photographer, producer, director and marketing guru. I'm obsessed with creating beautiful imagery. I'm a dreamer. I have no social life, my work is my life. Between my consulting jobs and my photography, I have little time to do much of anything. I really need to start working on that though; but I do know how to have a good time when I'm forced to get out of the office or studio. I have bases in New York, Miami & Connecticut. I work regularly throughout the country. Using only the best in equipment from Canon, Mamiya, Leaf and SinarBron, I primarily shoot utilizing digital capture. However, I do shoot in 35mm, Medium Format (6x6 & 6x7), and 4x5 film capture formats for those who require. I have tested models for major NYC agencies, as well as done work for several fashion designers, catalogs and other clients. RECENT CLIENTS
