About me: I’m a retired photographer, but I still like to do photo sessions. I view a photo session as a time of joy, fun, and creativity. If a model has an idea and wants to try it, I will be sure that we try to achieve the vision that the model has in mind.

How long is the photo session? I don't take myself too seriously and I can shoot for hours on end. I love shooting and I enjoy the people I meet in this industry.

My Only Request: Pleas call me two hours before the day we shoot to let me know the photo session is still on.
(If I do not hear from you, I will figure the photo session is off.)

I am at my best, when the image I create with a model are based on a style we create together in the studio or out in the field. Every time I press the shutter, I hope that the model and I can create an incredible image. I am also fairly advanced in Post Production and have the ability to make a good image into a great photo.

To all new Photographers out there, I would like to share something important. As photographers, we may be good with our Lights and Cameras, but it’s the model and the way she uses her eyes and body language that sells the photograph.

To all Models out there, I would like to share something important. If you are new to modeling welcome, this site is a stepping stone to something better, not the final journey. Remember a killer portfolio is the price of admission for you to make money. YOUR LOOK IS WHAT YOU ARE SELLING.

If you've been modeling for a while you should remember, “Someone was there for you in the beginning”.

The Quality of Work on iStudio is Amazing: I learn more by simply browsing the ports here. It inspires me each time to take my subsequent shoots to the next level, and, I love to shoot. Don't be afraid to shoot a request across or an idea...I'll usually try to make free time for a great idea or model.

Please take the time to look at my photographs: If you like them and would like to work with me please send me a message through iStudio.

$ession Information: Being retired I can offer all models a TFCD photo session.
This means:
A model agrees to give up their time and pose for a photographer who agrees to provide the model with a selection of digital images for their portfolio on a CD.

If you are interested in setting up something please feel free to contact me through
iStudio.
