I'm a fine art photographer living in New York City, specializing in black & white art nude and travel photography. I'm proud to call myself "old fashioned," as I still use film (though I have been using digital equipment lately, as well) and believe in making silver gelatin prints in a darkroom when I can. My work has been exhibited nationally in the US and published internationally.
I studied classical art at university and I like to think of the models that I photograph as being "living sculptures." Perhaps another way to explain what I do is that I like to create beautiful images, and what can be more beautiful than a beautiful woman in her natural state?
In 2023, I celebrated the 28th anniversary of my first art nude photographs. I look forward to creating for more.
