Shadia in the Woods

Here is an image of Shadia from late 2020. We had a great time shooting together. She’s such an amazing model that it almost feels like cheating when I get an image that I love so much. I remember we were having a conversation about life and death because the tree that she was posing in front of that was severely burnt in the “Lake Fire” already had new growth.

After over a decade as an art director, I started to evaluate what was important to me. About the same time I had this gut feeling to buy a camera. I've always been "creative" but I never considered myself an artist and I certainly never thought that I would be a photographer. I bought that first camera and it started me on an amazing journey of creativity and discovery. I quit my job as an art director and went back to school to learn as much about photography as I could. Now I am a full time photographer. What you see on this site are my personal projects. Some of these photographs are studies of light of the female form in the studio. Some in open space out in nature with available light. But all are a mirror in to who we are as humans. Whatever the setting, hopefully my images are a reflection of the beauty and the mystery of life.
