About Me

Brooklyn based digital photographer (started in May 2007) also available for styling and creative direction. I've worked in the fashion industry for almost 20 years and while I've got the know how to call the shots in terms of creative direction, composition, styling, etc., I'm learning how to best capture it.I'm looking to gain experience while experimenting with light, color, narrative, and perspective. I am still new at all of this and challenge myself to make to the most of every frame.Admitedly, I'm a bit overwhelmed and appreciate requests for TFCD/P. Unfortunately, a day job forces photography to the back seat. While I'd love to shoot with everyone, I've got to be pretty selective of who I work with. Please know this has nothing to do with you as much as it does with a need to develop my skills and an amazing portfolio.I am available for paid tests at reasonable rates; please contact me for details.Thanks for taking the time to look...as for me?Geeky, genuine, and an imagination that rivals the best LSD trip although my fear of actually hyperextending my imagination keeps LSD at bay. Abnormally optimistic (I actually believe, albeit unrealistic, that I am the luckiest guy in the world), yet unnerved by those "really hyper people", inspired...and the best night out always starts out on my roof with my friends...which can sometimes also be the best night in..."A life lived in fear is a life half lived."..
