I am at a stage in my life I can now dedicate time to my real passion, photography! I'm in the process of finding my vision and style. If you are willing to join me on this journey or if I can help you along on your own journey of self discovery we should collaborate.

In order to find my vision/style and build my portfolio I am willing to provide my photography services in exchange for modelling services for those models who want to build their portfolio. Please contact me with requests and any creative vision you may have in order to build your portfolio.

I also prefer meeting the models before either in person or through videoconferencing (Skype) to discuss a potential shoot and plan ahead. I find it important to meet ahead and develop an initial relationship and rapport as it does have an impact on the photos being produced. The gesture and expressions are more authentic, in turn the photos have more soul and character than just a purely posed photo void of all emotion which doesn't intrigue or capture the viewer's eye.

My spouse is available to do makeup and hair or touch ups required while doing the session if required.

I tend to gravitate towards the following photography genres:

* Headshot (capturing the character and soul of the individual)
* Portraiture
* Glamour
* Dance/Yoga
* Lingerie
* Sports/Athlete/Athletics photography
* Implied Nudes
* Fine Art Nudes

I find inspiration in everything when I am in the right frame of mind. I find when the lines, light, and the moment/gesture is present in a certain combination I am so focused on capturing it I loose all sense of time and all situational awareness.

For those who know of the 16 Personalities as defined by the Meyers Briggs Personality test I am a INFJ - Introversion (I), Intuition (N), Feeling (F), Judgment (J). One of the careers listed for this personality type is photographer... It took me some time to find this on my journey of self discovery. I work part time in an administrative capacity and found it doesn't provide the necessary outlet for my creative and adventurous side that I desire so much.

I have always been a people watcher. I have done street photography and approached people off the street to take pictures of them or inform them after if they would like a copy of the photo. The fear holds me back like any other human being. I found it easier to approach people in France to take pictures of them, oh did I fail to mention that I am bilingual yes I speak French and English. It helps I am married to my pen pal from Paris, France. The fear part comes from the norms that are also imposed on us by society, breaking through those norms results in some avant-garde photography and personal growth as well.

Take a chance I am let's get the creative ball rolling!
