I am a Seattle based photographer specializing in Portraiture, Fine Art Nude Portraiture, Performance and Events, and Editorial Assignments. I am the staff photographer for JUST CAUSE Magazine - currently web-only, but launching in 2009 as a nationally distributed print magazine. I am also a founding member of Studio Brick - an up-and-coming photography studio and gallery in the heart of Seattle's Pioneer Square arts district.

Along with chef Tiberio Simone, I am currently developing a print photography book titled La Figa: Visions of Food and Form. It is a visual exploration of food and the human form. Additionally, in partnership with Magic Mouse Software I am working on a series of electronic interactive photography books. The first title to be released will be Burning Man 2008: A Photo Essay.

In 2008 I was an artist in residence at the Creators Equity Foundation in Berkeley, where I produced a series of extremely large format prints from my Burning Man festival portfolio. These prints were featured in the 21 Days of Black Rock City exhibition in Petaluma, CA. Closer to home, my work has most frequently been at the Seattle Erotic Art Festival. My La Figa project will be prominently featured there in 2009.

See the Services page on my website for more details on the services I offer. What really sets me apart from the competition is not just my artistic vision, but also my highly developed skills in the post-processing of my images. In this digital age, capturing the right image in your camera is only half the story. You also need to be able to bring the photograph to its fullest potential via cutting edge software tools. My previous career as a software engineer prepared me well with the technical savvy needed to master these tools.

Right now we are in the processing of finding a literary agent and/or publisher for our La Figa book. If you have any good contacts in the world of fine art photography book publishing, please let me know.
