I enjoy nothing more than putting a model in bunny-footie pajamas with a 40oz. of malt liquor and dropping them in a questionable neighborhood. Thanks for putting up with me, Brit. See her in the sixth issue of NSFW Magazine. Comments/Questions?

My entry from when I first met the stunning, lovely, intelligent, funny, gorgeous, and oh, did I mention, very easy on the eyes Kate Morgan from my personal photo journal several months ago. I’ve kept these journals for years, I believe this entry
I’ve received a lot of questions asking about the kinds of models I like working with and I always give the same answer: They must have a fun personality and not take themselves so seriously. A perfect and most recent example is my friend Kendra.
Generally speaking I’m as much of a hater as the next person, but I am always surprised to hear people talk ill of my friend and model, Cherish. After knowing her for over six years, I think it’s fair to say I know her pretty well.Yes, no
I fell in love with her modeling photos because of her seemingly calm and graceful demeanor. She always appeared at the height of elegance, with an almost regal nature about her. When we finally met I was impressed that she was just as lovely in person

Lola and I playing with double exposures. She enjoyed dancing with herself. Comments/Questions?
A few weeks ago I was looking for photo props at a local thrift store and spotted a lovely woman perusing the racks of clothes who clearly did not fit in. To begin with, she was stunning, with the kind of beauty that you see frequently in magazines but

I’ve made no secret about trying to explore the boundaries of what is capable through the physics of photography lately. Today I experimented with movement, artificial lighting, and the use of a model all while underwater. We used filters, tinting,
With no budget as usual and no prep time, Jenna and her mom came over last Saturday, and I had my friend Lola bring her jewelry bag. I only had a vague idea of what I wanted to capture, but I knew how I wanted to shoot it. With almost an hour of experimen
Another long exposure underwater with a flash. This was a far more complicated process than I would have guessed, but well worth the effort. Thank you, Lauren, for all the photo assistance. More coming soon. (I mean, eventually.) Questions/Comments?

This is an out take from my new water experiments when all the equipment failed, but I don’t think it’s too bad. What do you think? Comments/Questions?
It’s no secret I’ve been a bit bored with photography for several years, the lack of inspiration has been mind-numbing. But in the last six months or so I’ve decided to really challenge myself, attempting to push the physics of photograp
In my continuing use of underwater photography with long exposures and artificial light, I’m developing work that seems much more quiet and spiritual, which I suppose is where my mind has been for most of this year. Here is another recent example
I just can’t get enough of Jess. Not only is she lovely and easy to work with, she’s a natural model. Working mainly with amateur models, it is always refreshing to find someone who doesn’t need direction. Jess reminds me of those cool

On her birthday last week, Miss Kacie Marie was very happy to receive a platinum wig from her roommate. She immediately dressed up in some fancy clothes to accompany it, which I teasingly said made her look like a Star Trek villain. Here she almost hyper

I honestly didn’t know what to expect for my first shoot with Aurora having only met her once before. Though impressed by her beauty, I wasn’t exactly sure it would translate through the camera. Turns out I had nothing to worry about. Comments

There are still so many great unpublished photos of my friend Kacie Marie in my archives I need a free month just to begin sorting them all. Here is a great shot I rediscovered recently from when she drove up from Philadelphia to meet me in Manhattan
These lighting experiments are taking me much farther than I ever thought they would. Now that I’ve moved to a larger place, I have far more space than my cramped bedroom to shoot in, leading to more movement for the models to express themselves.
Jesslyn makes it all look so easy. She is a great model, though she has little to no experience. Her perfect mix of strength and vulnerability isn’t an act; having gotten to know her in the last few months I have seen the extreme of both sides.
Moving out of the house I lived in for over seven years, I knew I needed to streamline my life. Deciding to get rid of a lot of the larger art I had been holding onto for years, I decided to put ads online. My friend and part-time model Brandi was excited
