Together in Nature

I usually work with a single model at a time. It’s difficult enough to find one willing to endure the tough locations which are my trademark. But when the opportunity arises to work with a duo, the session can be even more exciting. Schedules aside, the most difficult aspect is their personalities. It’s one thing […]

Zed’s Performance

This year’s outdoor work began a bit early. In April I reached out to a New York model who was visiting Cleveland for a convention. Luckily he agreed to work on short notice with the gradually warming weather. Perfect timing! This guy’s name is Zed and he had never really worked in an abandoned setting.

Cleveland Gymnastics

  In the rush to catch up with my shoots, I completely lost track of this great session last year in Cleveland. My wonderful model, Zach, happened to be in town and we decided to try one more crack at the industrial blight around the city. So the remains of the Westinghouse and Hulett factories

A Peerspace in Detroit

This past February I was in Detroit attending an exhibition. With a suggestion from my wonderful Canadian friend, I decided not to let the weather halt any photographic work and hesitantly tried PeerSpace. PeerSpace is a service similar to AirBnB that offers rentals for many events, including photo shoots. With that in mind, I tried

Jason and St. Louis

In this post, I want to share the timeliness that is essential to my work. As soon as I discover new sites, they seem to disappear. That fear drives my need to capture as many of these places as possible before all is lost. It’s a race against the “homogenizing” of America. This post is

Mario

Around every corner in the Pacific Northwest seems to lie an incredible natural scene. This session was my second on this year’s excursion. Working with model Mario, we ended up deep in a canyon that had suffered horrible fire damage. There was a wonderful connect with Mario’s energy and the location. He comfortably engaged with

Return to Portlandia

I look at every photo shoot as an opportunity to unite a unique individual with a unique environment. And this summer, I was able to travel back to visit friends in Portland, allowing another great shoot with this handsome man. After a year of photographing urban desolation, it’s a refreshing treat to work the male

Return to Iberia

  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. The mind-blowing history alone is enough to peak my interest. But the staggering vistas and phenomenal architecture are just stellar!

Man from Japan

Once again, Instagram has helped pave the way to new friendships and model potentials. Back in summer of 2022, I reached out to this incredibly handsome bodybuilder who was working in a nearby state. His enthusiasm to shoot was extraordinary. I finally made the decision to attempt a roadtrip to test him out. His name
