I am an artist of the photographic medium, a writer, a bohemian - one who documents life. I'm easygoing, and hard to define in detail - an amorphous conglomeration of interests and passions. Easy to pigeonhole - I'm Lou Reed in Boston, without the sunglasses, musical talent, occasional need to enter rehab, or direct connection to Andy Warhol..
I strive for my images to remind the viewer of the raw humanity which they may have forgotten about, may not be able to see or may be in denial of. My work will either relate with you on a deep level or slap you clear across the face.
I use vintage photos for inspiration.
Classic painters have been my muse for many years.
I love the Victorian era.
I love dramatic lighting, chairo scuro and film noir.
I have a passion for photojournalism.
I also have a passion for the esoteric world and the occult.
Publication, promotion and projects are the only time I shoot without expectation of monetary compensation. Please inquire about my current projects if you're interested. Also, if you have an idea and want me to shoot it we can discuss what the final outcome will be and I will seriously consider it!
I offer TFP/CD on an EXTREMELY limited basis.
PLEASE, DO NOT JUST LEAVE ME A COMMENT AND HOPE FOR THE BEST if you would like to step in front of my lens please message me and let me know the following:
- Posing restrictions, major fears, allergies,
anything that I might need to know that would effect the build of the set/location, or the shot in general.
- What sort of shoot/content you are interested in?
- Is there a specific project that you would like to be considered for?
Most, if not all of what I shoot is pre-planned; I like to assure that both my time and yours is well spent. If you want some higher quality portfolio work let me know and we can talk rates. In addition if you want to interview for my conceptual/artistic work I am more than happy to entertain our possibilities together.
One unobtrusive escort is ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS welcome to accompany any client or model and remain on-set throughout our photoshoot.
