My portrait work is focused on a contemporary style that consists of relaxed, casual elegance. I don't shoot portraits in-studio, with multi-colored foggy backdrops, or the typical assembly line lighting. I have found that when I place my clients in a comfortable environment, either at their home or in another interesting location, the resulting images are far better than studio portraits. These photographs often contain an insightful glimpse into the inner essence of the person who is being photographed. I want to create, style, and photograph a very special image for each of my clients. I go to great lengths in paying attention to every detail. I carefully select the location, clothing, accessories, hair styling and make-up to create something very magical. I think "outside the box", giving my clients something more dramatic or daring, resulting in a more exciting and memorable image.

Fashion should be fun and exciting - never practical or boring. I like to place models in interesting and unexpected settings because I want them to get into character and interact with their new environment. My focus here is on pushing the envelope, and by doing so, creating interesting and memorable images. I want to give a model a unique experience that ends with great photographs that reflect them at their very best. The result is a fashion narrative containing a carefully chosen and edited group of images that relate to one another. The photographs express great fashion sense but also can contain the visual elements of innocence, vulnerability, joy, hope, strength, sensuality, and drama - a wide variety of emotions. They are alive, in every sense of the word.   

I love the power, beauty, and gravitas of fine architectural work. I especially appreciate the details of a structure and the complexities of creating an innovative design. Because of the potential of all these wonderful elements, I strive to shoot in optimum conditions, with careful assessments of light and angle. Often, I take advantage of overcast days with interesting skies that help to create expressions of mood and drama. I have found that his is one of the best means of drawing out the building’s intrinsic beauty, its unique design and individual characteristics. There is a story in each structure, whether it is a midcentury private home, an aging storefront, or a soaring skyscraper. My efforts are always focused on bringing out that story, converting the idea into a powerful and evocative visual statement, and then sharing it with the viewer.

Professional makeup and hair styling is extremely important for photography. This is highly recommended, because the final outcome and quality of the image will always be better realized when professional hair and make-up artists are an integral part of the process.

The same advantages are evident in the differences in photo shoots where the photographer has selected the fashion outfits personally, compared to those that were dependent on the client's home closet choices. The Fashion Styling process allows the photographer to prepare with a specific focus for the shoot, and allows for pre-shoot planning as to how that focus can best be extrapolated to the client's advantage.
