Historically shooting the gritty streets of NYC has given me a bit of an edge when it comes to shooting fashion. I'm looking to develop with a few talented but underpublished Models, Makeup Artists, Lighting Assistants, and Retouchers.

If I have "friended" you and not sent a message I'm bookmarking you for one of a couple projects I have coming up soon. It's easier to bookmark you then send you a message when I actually have a second to explain them

Important Note Concerning tests/TFP:

I will generally only consider test shoots for portfolio usage (your book and mine). I do NOT do tests for commercial work or stock photography or have anyone sign blanket commercial releases for test shoots.


Home studio in the East Village:

+ 1400 square feet in a duplex layout
+ 13' ceilings and exposed brick on one floor
+ bottom floor with an open layout / ability to shut out light completely.
+ A finished 1000sqft back patio with a couple of peach trees.
+ Located On 6th Street Between Avenue A + B in Manhattan's East Village
+ Approximately 15 community gardens, streets lined with (good) graffiti, and plenty of little spots which I know inside and out.

In short:

I have a near limitless canvas all within five minutes walking distance. Living here for the past four years has allowed me to build a solid bank of locations that I can apply to execute any given concept.

Talk soon.
