I have recently opened a photography studio in Miami. Experienced models are encouraged to contact me for more information.

My photography dates back to high school where I processed B&W film and prints and mastered the zone system. Early works included artistic nude and fine art photography. In college my traditional thinking was challenged by the surrealism influence of Jerry Uelsmann at the University of Florida and guest lecturers including Robert Heineken from UCLA. I've also had the pleasure of learning from and studying under great photographers including David Alan Harvey (documentary), Elizabeth Opalenik (fine art), Perry Dilbeck (fine art documentary), William Albert Allard (documentary) and others.

Capturing the image is only the first step in creating a unique work of art. Just as film photographers selected particular films, papers and development chemistry for their contrast or color characteristics, I finish my photographs with a distinctive style in the digital darkroom.
