My last blog post featured the relatively easy start to Armani’s weekend visit, the next step was getting him into the studio. There was literally no way to restrain his enthusiasm. He’s always engaged in the situation and really seemed to enjoy the multiple props and clothing in the studio. (It did help that we […]
Here we go again. How could any photographer in their right mind turn down the opportunity to work with this amazing image-making powerhouse! After a winter respite, Armani and I reconnected to try more creative concepts here in Columbus. I had started a vintage car project a few years ago, but the logistics were always

Many times I experience what I call the shooting star – that wonderful model who appears briefly, we produce lots of work and then they disappear into the background of life. Jef was one of those guys. He was a recommendation from a friend. Embodying a quiet sensitivity, I felt like he had depth to
Here’s my second shoot with this handsome dancer, an individual who doesn’t know the term: “can’t do it”. He is always seeking the ultimate expression, even in the most difficult locations.

As I get older, I realize that I should also feature those incredible models at the start of my career. These are guys I documented in black and white film back when that was the ONLY method of taking pictures. Many are the earliest nudes I’ve shot, but my style still echoes throughout. I don’t
Don’t let this serious look on Armani’s face fool you… it does not represent his pleasant personality in the least, especially since he’s focusing on his best friend. These two add another great weekend session to a growing list of duo models in my portfolio. I’ve been pretty fortunate to have some incredible combinations of

Another adventure to Portugal, several regional excursions and a new turn in ceramics have made 2025 exciting. So this is my recap of the past year in photography with special thanks to all those great people who
As we move into the heart of winter, it’s always good to bring back some summer memories. What could be better than terrific outdoor captures in one of the most beautiful natural settings – the Pacific Northwest. It’s been a couple of years since I worked with local talent here. Some of you may remember

My luck with models has always been analogous to rolling dice. You really never know how they’re going to operate until you work with them. Most of the time they’ve been pretty awesome. Some, a bit difficult. And other times, they can be stellar! But this new model in St. Louis has set my camera

So this blog post will feature my overseas models individually so you can appreciate their characteristics. I start with one of my veteran models from New York. Esteban is a treat to work with. Always happy, always positive! He brings an air of confidence and professionalism to every shoot. This was his first overseas adventure
