My pictures have been instrumental in my growth as a human being. Creating images comes from the core of my soul. Over the span of my career I have photographed the famous, to a 78 year-old woman from Hong Kong who recited poetry to me during a recent session, which touched my heart. I fondly remember Mick Fleetwood telling me stories of seeing Jimi Hendrix play for the first time in a small London pub called "The Bag of Nails" in the early 60’s. He shared a story with me, as to what it was like to see this unknown enigmatic guitar player play like an atomic bomb. Over the years I have developed a style that is accommodating for different faces and personalities. I love the dramatic potential of movie lights, (George Hurrell is my hero) and the spontaneous possibilities of working with studio strobe that captures the excitement of the moment. From album covers to gallery shoots for the networks, I have spent the last 15-years in the studio getting to know people visually. I have become a photographer of humans.
