About Me

- My profile in New York Times
- Village Voice Nightlife Photographer of the Year (2006)
- 'L' magazine Nightlife Photographer of the Year (2007)

You know me and my photos from the covers of Time Out New York and British Journal of Photography, from the pages of BlackBook, Out magazine, Village Voice, New York magazine, and most notoriously, from the pages of Gawker.com and Ambrel.net .
I'm looking for portrait subjects with interesting stories to tell (all genders, races, weights, ages).
And I'm always looking for people to tell fashion stories with: stylists, make-up artists, hair stylists and fashion models. If you're interested, get in touch here .

I shoot seductive images. It means that you have to love what having your photo taken does for you. All forms of exhibitionism are encouraged I mean, just look at Jess & Jaime here. I want to see the vain, exhibitionistic narcissist in you come out for the camera. What you might think is the ugliest thing about you is often what makes you uniquely beautiful, and I want to see that.
Have a look at some my of my recent photos above & below. That should give you a good idea of what I'm going for. Or think Helmut Newton meets Richard Kern .
Get in touch and let's talk . (It really helps if you live in New York, or at least visit semi-regularly.)
"He can get you out of your clothes faster than you can say 'Hey that's a nice camera!'" -- Jeffrey K.
