I am an internationally acclaimed visual artist / photographer. My art has been exhibited in many of the world's most interesting Contemporary, National or Public Museums and Galleries. As a photographer my works have been included in exhibitions and publications with artists such as Andy Warhol. My last exhibition in New York City was a collaborative work with American artist Chuck Close. I have worked with the camera most of the 60 years of my life and my photographs are collected by museums and private collectors the world over. I currently teach photography in a fine art department at a college here in London, Canada; where I live with my family.

As a visual artist I use the camera as part of my creative expression. An important part of my art’s subject matter includes people and often nudes. For this reason I need to find and hire models to work with towards the production of those art works, which will be destined to be exhibited within the art world. I prefer to work with professional or experienced models and as such my interest in ModelMayhem is to find interesting models as subject matter in those photographic works of art.
As a professional artist I am willing to provide credentials to any individual who would be interested in working alongside of me and my camera. I have already photographed various ‘model’ members and have photographer colleagues who are already established on ModelMayhem and would be willing to provide references.

In short, I am a professional artist looking for models at ModelMayhem to photograph in my works of art
