A little about me...

Once upon a time...just kidding. I started taking pictures back in 1970. That year my parents gave me a camera for Christmas -- A Polaroid Swinger that took black and white pictures. I began photographing everything under the sun, especially my pet cats - took lots of pictures of them.

During the course of time I have photographed just about every subject there is. I found model photography to be the most exciting and that is what I shoot now. I went to seminars, read books, watched videotapes and was a member of two camera clubs.

I do a full range of model photography, specializing in glamour/swimsuit work. I have been published nationally and have developed a network of working professionals in the entertainment industry from coast to coast. Shooting photos for modeling headshots, comp cards, portfolios and web sites. I have been an “ extra” in a feature film called “ Passionada “ so I know first hand what it’s like to be on a Hollywood film set. I played the part of a casino patron playing a slot machine.

My services include talent scouting, being an agent and photography. I am always looking for new models. All my photo shoots are on location using my staff of assistants, makeup artists and hairstylists. I find location shooting very exciting and so do the models. I am an Official Cover Photographer for Swimsuit Illustrated of California. My approach is complete and thorough, I take the time to go over wardrobe and location combinations, shooting ideas, makeup and hairstyling, model’s input and career ambitions when planning a photo shoot. I match the model’s personality and look with a range of her wardrobe and select the locations based on that total look. I am not the boss, the model and I are a team and I want their input, we aim to achieve the looks we are after for the end result. It amazes me what two artistic people can imagine! This is the whole reason I love this type of work, the people you meet and work with makes life very enjoyable!

I am happily married to my wife, Angela, and do not have children. My resume is below, take a look at it.

Thank you for taking the time to read about me and my life. I wish you success in following your dreams!

Warm regards,
