About Me



Voted Charlotte's "Best 'Big-Shot' Photographer" (2013 and 2014) by the readers of Elevate Magazine.

I'm a full-time professional photographer, shooting mostly fashion and commercial work for magazines, advertising, and talent agencies.  Please visit these portfolios at http://www.fenixfoto.com

Because of this I have very limited time for TFCD with SELECT models for fashion, lingerie, glamour, swimwear, boudoir, and art nudes--otherwise my standard rates are extremely reasonable.  Booking a session from a true professional is the best way to get exactly what you want for your portfolio. Many of the models I've shot have gone on to live/work in NYC, Japan, and Milan and have gone on to be published in Victoria Secret, FHM, GQ, Mazim Espanol, et al.

All my lighting gear is easily transportable and enjoy finding unique locations and sets to work in. I can shoot most any day of the week or on the weekends with appointment.

Contact me for rates (we have special rates for several regional agencies).

I am allowed to contract with models individually, but I am under contract with an agency who will have to negotiate larger commercial advertising jobs.
