Introducing Connor. He is actually an American now living in Barcelona. A wonderfully fit guy, he added a bit of muscle to my Portuguese sessions. Meeting up in Porto, he worked as a duo model with Alex from the last post. Their work was amazing! Because my style is very different from most photographers, I …
Introducing a model with such a title leads one to believe something amazing happened. And as a last minute addition to a crazy shoot schedule, he did just that. Reaching out through Instagram, I connected with this young man and Alex was able to be included in an already astounding repertoire of images. As luck …
Wow, I’m so behind with these posts. It’s been such a crazy-busy year, with a book on the way and many trips. This time I’m trying to get caught up with work from the first model utilized on my Portuguese photo safari. Hailing from Australia via London, this guy undertook some great locations. This preliminary …
One part of the world has truly captured my imagination. Portugal and Western Spain, especially the Extremedura, have presented me with a plethora of stunning locations that cannot compare to anything in the US.

As luck would have it, after the difficult weather in Detroit with Bruno, a brief Indian summer gave me the opportunity to attempt one more outdoor shoot.

Bruno has tremendous fortitude. After spending one day exploring a couple of schools, the next was focused on slightly more open scenes including a church and an abandoned engine plant. Luckily the temperature was slightly warmer on day two, but the wind from Canada was intensifying. Bruno persevered with the dedication of a true artist. …
Deserted spaces are not empty. They are vessels that contain memories of human life if you know how to see them. I grew up viewing forgotten structures as more than just ruins – they were symbols of man’s creativity, edifices of human ingenuity, definitive marks left in the world. They became the seeds. …
As the photographic season slowly drew to a close, I became keenly aware of the increased difficulty shooting. The weather was getting more unpredictable and colder, of course. I was so happy to have collaborators like this months featured model, Bruno. I think his shoot was by far the most arduous. And the city of …
The 2022 photography season truly began with Portugal. It was the first time that I felt comfortable enough to attempt a foreign country by myself. Armed with research done online, I had several destinations and a few contacts to assist with what became some of the best location work I’ve shot. This trip energized the …
