About

I became seriously interested in photographing women when the internet was in its adolescence. I had been to a prominent, school for commercial photography and had a solid background and education in product photography, portraiture, advertising illustration, etc, etc. The first dot com boom was happening and lots of people were making lots of money photographing shiny objects on table tops. I shot my share of NICs (network interface cards), food packaging, chocolate, furniture and cans of corn. My heart wasn't in it. I feel alive when I'm photographing people. Interacting with a living, breathing, being. Collaborating. Dancing. Connecting. I decided that if I were going to seriously pursue a career in one of the most notoriously difficult fields there are, I was going to do what I loved. And I loved photographing women.

Social platforms were breaking onto the scene. The days of MySpace and Flickr and Suicide Girls. It was suddenly possible to put your images online and grow an audience. And nothing performed better than beautiful, naked women. Then come Tumblr, FaceBook and Instagram. Tumblr in particular was a haven for self expression and curated content. It was an exciting time that felt free. These platforms grew and changed the world. Fast forward to today, and the money counters have fully grasped the power of social media. There isn't an industry that hasn't been impacted by it. Tumblr gets bought up by Verizon and goes into lockdown mode. Facebook is now the 8000lb gorilla, absorbing Instagram. In order to placate their cash cow, corporate ad buyers and to mitigate possible legal exposure, they double down on anti sex, puritanical user agreements. Female presenting nipples are now cause for expulsion. It's all about money. You are the product. (I highly recommend watching the documentary, The Social Dilemma on Netflix.) At the time of this writing, a broad anti-trust action has been launched against Facebook. They completely squash innovation and competition in the social network arena. At the very least, they will probably be broken up into multiple businesses like the telecom industry in the 80's. Goodbye Ma-Zuck

Until then, it seems that we must rely on walled gardens in which to share our work. Individual pay sites such as this, seem to be some kind of safe solution. We've built our careers and livelihoods upon these networks that are apt to cancel us with a keystroke, without warning or recourse. I'll be sharing work from the past as well as projects that I'm working on now. This will not be a money making endeavor, but consider the cost of membership as a backstage pass to see so much more than I can share on the open platforms. For every image I post to Insta, there are dozens if not hundreds more that will never see the light of day. I'll be sharing those here. As well as the stories behind the shoots and links to the models featured. The revenue generated here will go back into creating. Physical materials and putting money into the pockets of the models that collaborate with me. Maybe this place can be a block of clay that can be shaped into something wonderful. We'll see.

Thank you for your support and your curiosity.
