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.

Over the past few years I have spent much time and effort traveling to Portugal for my work. There is something mesmerizing about this country so steeped in history. Bits of the past remain intact as archeological guideposts. They hypnotize and captivate my imagination giving me plenty of ammunition to create symbolic imagery. Returning again
After much insistence from my Canadian urbex guide, I finally made it to Montreal. And he was right, it’s an incredible city with a palpable sense of old Europe. Lots of great architecture and historical interests. Amid all this, I was shown some amazing new spaces for work and discovered some great local talent. Enter
