Hello and thanks for taking time to stop by and read my port and view my images.

First and foremost I am a retired Fire Chief. After 21 years I retired to pursue my photography. I have been shooting for the last 15 years. Mostly got into it as a stress relief. Only took photos of fire related news. Ended up being published in calendars and fire magazine, not to mention the Chicago tribune, and St. Louis post dispatch, southern Illinoisans.
I am married with five children. Been married for almost 20 years now. So yes I know how to respect women. So my models will be treated with the utmost respect!

Please view my port images and read my bio first,if your then possibly interested in working with me after seeing my work then please feel free to contact me with any questions you might have.

There are two types of photographers, those that spend an hour on one shot and those that take a hundred shots in one hour.
The photographer that shoots one shot per hour had better get it right where the photographer that shoots 100 pictures in one hour will most likely get five beautiful shots.
(Did you know Playboy will shoot 70,000 images of a model just to print five?)

MY VISION AND GOAL...

To collaborate with models or subject for a unique attention grabbing images.

I am professional, and treating the models with nothing but respect is part of bring professional. I have several references who can verify this professionalism during my shoots. (let alone a wife who would put be out)

I provide a safe relaxed environment , MM is not a dating site like some think it is.
Your in a relaxed,fun and safe environment while at my shoots without exception.

When I'm shooting women my goal is to find the beauty, sensuality or erotic energy in the model I'm working with in a classy way and capturing her in that timeless moment.

I am new to using models. My experience comes from shooting fires, and news scenes. I really enjoy working with new or inexperienced models to try and get them to the next level and help them with becoming successful published models.

I am internationally published and work with several magazines in Italy, Australia, U.K. as well as the US.
I have had my work published in magazines, promotions, posters, calender's, catalogs,websites or ads, and news. But as I said earlier this is all fire related. So please contact me, and we can help each other move up!

I also travel to Gadsden, Alabama once a month!

Prior to each shoot, models are required to sign a release conferring the right to use the images for any purpose. Models will also be required to show a photo ID upon our first meeting. I am willing to do TFCD/TFP shoots!
