+++MY WEBSITE+++

My interest in taking photographs started when I discovered my fathers Polaroid camera at age 7, much to his dislike.

After high school I travelled around southeast asia and the middle east ,between working as a bartender at night and studio assistant during the day I was quickly bored with my options and the rejection letter from the London College Of Printing in 1997 was the final straw that inspired me to leave Europe for new adventures.

In 1998 I moved to New York City (without a clue, a bag of clothes, my cameras and a few hundrered dollars) and ended up staying for 5 years ; assisting photographers like Andres Serrano, Richard Kern, Piotr Sikora , Kevin Knight , Stephen McBride and many others, ranging from working on shoots for Harpers Bazaar , Vogue and other high fashion magazines to gritty Hip Hop Album Cover shoots in Brooklyn's Projects while shooting my own stuff in my spare time.

I never went to school for photography .

Currently you'll find my work in :

Some of my erotic work has been published by Taschen in "The New Erotic Photography/The most provocative modern image makers" (also featuring Terry Richardson, Richard Kern ,Marc Baptiste, George Pitts, Natascha Merritt and Eric Kroll). In my spare time I enjoy shooting guns and taking long walks in the desert.

Here some fun footage of my shoot with Omahyra Mota, aired on RTL German Television on April 11/07 (part one of more to come!)
