Gina is one of the wisest people I’ve ever met; camouflaged in the skin of a beautiful Italian wanderer. Sometimes a contradiction in a culture such as ours… until you meet someone like her. Our first shoot, I hope it’s not our last.

At some point in my life I started to get a bit overwhelmed with requests about photoshoots, specifically test shoots. At first it was extremely flattering to be approached by complete strangers about shooting but after awhile, as the number of requests multiplied, it just became stressful, not to mention time-consuming. Over the years I [...]
Tonight I realized something about myself… I use words too much. I started working on this image of Samantha and I saw something that wasn’t there. I found a blank sheet of paper and a pen I accidentally stole from the bank and started sketching. All angel wings. Different styles, until on the third or [...]
A couple weeks ago Courtney Starr asked if she could use some of my images for a little documentary she was putting together for her college English class titled “Nudity in Photography.” She admits to wishing she knew how to use the technical equipment better, but the content is great!
