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 […]
It’s always so exciting to see how different men perform during a shoot. Some need a bit of coaxing or inspiration, while others cut loose and rejoice in their bodies and the expressions they can reveal.

It all started with an idea to shoot in Gary, Indiana. What originally was to be two separate models working back to back, quickly became one of the most lovely duo series I’ve ever photographed. You know that stereotypical comment that artists make – “I’ve always wanted to…blah”. Well this was the crowning moment for
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.
