*****EDIT 11-28-09: Been super busy buying my first property for the past several months, a process that has pretty much swallowed whatever time my job does not.  Hopefully I'll be getting back into the swing of things soon and getting some shoots underway.  I sincerely apologize if there's been a delay in getting back to anyone.*****

I have been taking photographs for as long as I can remember.  The son of an antiques dealer, I grew up surrounded by old things and have been collecting antique photographs since I was little.

I studied photography intensively at Miami University (2001-2005) under Jon Yamashiro, and am proficient in 35mm, medium format, darkroom, and digital photography techniques and manipulation.

After several years working as a graphic designer, I am looking to rebuild my portfolio and continue pursuing photography in a more serious way.

I am generally disinterested in "pretty" pictures or anything that resembles stock photography.  I am especially interested in the candid, edgy, quirky, unflattering, detailed, intense, odd, honest, and unsettling.  My favorite photographers include Nicholas Nixon, Robert & Shana Parkeharrison,  Richard Avedon, Dorthea Lange, and Man Ray.

My photographs have been exhibited in shows and galleries, including the Cincinnati Art Museum.

I am looking to work with talented models on a wide variety of projects, including fashion, glamour, candid and artistic portraits, and commercial projects.  I usually work for trade and am always willing to make more traditional photographs outside the project-at-hand to help the model with their own portfolio.  Am willing to travel for fun/worthwhile projects.  Compensation is possible for commercial projects. 

Please feel free to contact me with any potential projects or offers.
