"Within every man and woman a secret is hidden, and as a photographer it is my task to reveal it if I can. The revelation, if it comes at all, will come in a small fraction of a second with an unconscious gesture, a gleam of the eye, a brief lifting of the mask that all humans wear to conceal their innermost selves from the world. In that fleeting interval of opportunity the photographer must act or lose his prize."
WORDS BY Yousuf Karsh

This be me! )






I am a clikah I just realize when to snap! My subjects become art like no other.

I do all my own retouching and will not allow a photo to be released until retouched!

I also am responsible for the majority of styling in my photos!

I have the final say creatively!


I am open to tfp if I choose, so don't be afraid to contact me!

My portraits are more about me than they are about the people I photograph. - Richard Avedon







Any photographer who says he’s not a voyeur is either stupid or a liar. - Helmut Newton







A thing that you see in my pictures is that I was not afraid to fall in love with these people. - Annie Leibovitz

One should really use the camera as though tomorrow you’d be stricken blind. To live a visual life is an enormous undertaking, practically unattainable. I have only touched it, just touched it. - Dorothea Lange





My job as a portrait photographer is to seduce, amuse and entertain. - Helmut Newton










The model has to give you the moment. It's not you making it. Then give it to you and you capture it. - Peter Lindberg
