San Francisco Photographer

About Me

I am a freelance photographer based in the San Francisco Bay Area but travel to Southern California regularly. Before photography I was involved with directing and playwriting for the theatre and that influences my current work. I try to capture the model personality and tell story, however subtle, in th photos. My current focus is on fine art and physique photography but I shoot portraits and events as well.I am available on a limited basis for TFP to assist new models with portfolio building. Priority given to models with defined athletic physique (but you are not required to be a body builder).Credits - Photos from my "warehouse" series are included in BLUE+ (issue 63) currently on the news stands.Some of my photos were also included in "Male Nude Index" published December 2005 by Feirabend Verlag of Germany in December 2005.My photographs have appeared in "Dreamboys 3", "Dreamboys" and "Manatomy" by Studio Magazine of Australia. My portfolio "Motel Suite" was featured in (Not Only) Blue Issue #56 in May 2005.
