I've been shooting for over 30 years, starting out with catalog and underwater photography, and later expanding to figure and fitness models, bodybuilders and architectural photography. In the winter I shoot recreational skiing and ski races. I spend one week each year in Colorado, shooting skiing for a client.

Twice a year I shoot bodybuilding/fitness/figure/bikini contests in Chicago, and also offer on-site private sessions. My favorite shooting locations are abandoned/decaying buildings, industrial areas, and off-beat locations (cemeteries, etc.) , as the atmosphere they offer is totally unique.

My photos have been used in several magazines (including two cover photos), books, and online publications. The Field Museum and Chicago Sun Times have used my architectural photos.

I also shoot cosplay, steampunk and more, and am the photo dept. head for Anime Chicago.
