I've been doing freelance photography for almost fifty years. I started in the turbulent early 70's - so my approach and style are a little unconventional. I began with a photo-journalistic mindset and haven't veered too far from that. I thrive when I can improvise and adapt to my environment, rather than exhaustively plan a session.
My major focus is on lifestyle portraiture - not a boring studio setup, but rather experiencing new locations and ideas. Although lots of the work in my portfolio look as if it was done in a studio - it was not. I shoot on location and (upon request) in people's homes. I also tote around a full studio lighting setup, just in case.
When you view my portfolio, you'll notice there are a lot of images in there. Unlike most, I don't want to display just one or two images from a shoot - I want you to be able to see the variety that can be accomplished when imagination and adaptability are in the driver's seat.
A note about my logo
People have asked me about my weird little logo. It's actually a scan of a rubber stamp I had made in the 70's. I used it to stamp the back of my prints. I found it a few years ago and thought it would be cool to remind myself of my roots, rather than re-design some slick contemporary one.
