About Me

I am an American photographer, based in Paris since 2006. I have extensive experience working with professional models, actors, comedians, hair/makeup artists and stylists.

I have worked with a variety of people in Washington, DC, New York, Barcelona, London and of course, Paris.

My personal philosophy is that while I know there can be great value added by studio photography, I prefer street and cafe scenes in Paris. I prefer to combine art and architecture with my subject. This is not to distract the viewer from the model, but to make the photograph more interesting. Plain backgrounds can be great, but I prefer to shake things up a bit!

Studio lighting can be tricky, complicated and very time consuming. There is nothing better than a nice grey sky in Paris. Sometimes on very bright days a soft, fill flash can help to illuminate the subject.

I enjoy working with new models who are building their portfolio.

I am fully skilled in PhotoShop for after shooting processing of photographs, but I am not very fond of photographs that are so overdone, they no longer resemble a photograph, but look more like a sci-fi movie poster.

So, get out of your office. Get out of your apartment. Tell your teacher you are sick and get out of class. Let us both hit the streets of Paris and make beautiful work together.
