Hello and welcome to my site.
I'm a fine art photographer living and working in the San Francisco Bay Area. My emphasis is on nature, floral, landscape, and travel photography.
Photography has always been a passion of mine. It's not just about getting the shot, but it's the whole journey to the final image. What I love about my work is when a person tells me that an image of mine has touched them or taken them to another place.
A View from the Other Side of the Lens--
As a professional model for over 25 years, I had the opportunity to work with some of the best photographers in the business. From technical aspects of the camera, the use of natural light, to a full appreciation of the creative process. The knowledge I gained from working with these professionals has been invaluable.
Global Perspective--
I was fortunate to live and work in some of the most beautiful cities in the world: Paris, Munich, London, Sydney, Miami, Chicago, and San Francisco. Traveling the world has left lasting impressions on me, many of which I have captured through my images.
Natural Approach--
My approach to photography is natural; from my preference to shooting film, to my love of using natural light. I shoot with a digital SLR camera now, but the richness in color and contrast of film will always be compelling to me. Many of my images have been taken with my Nikon F3 cameras, and a variety of Nikkor lenses and Velvia 50 film.
My work can be seen in private homes and businesses across the United States and Canada, as well as numerous publications and calendars.
Whether I am shooting the delicate layers of a flower, an oak tree on a preserve, or a caf� in Paris, I strive to find beauty in everything. My passion is to reveal it through the lens of my camera.
Thank you for looking at my work.
