About me

I have been interested in taking pictures and printing them since I was about 12 years old. As a teenager, I was most influenced by photojournalists such as W. Eugene Smith and everyone working for Life Magazine.

I studied professional photography at the Rochester Institute of Technology and photographic arts at The Polytechnic of Central London (Now it's the University of Westminster.) Formal education introduced me to a wider range of photographic possibilities and I started to broaden my outlook. Anyway, Life Magazine folded while I was a student so it seemed clear that my goals needed to change.

For the past 20 years or so I have worked as a commercial photographer concentrating on architecture, interiors and advertising. I feel that I combine technical strengths with an ability to interpret subjects in a very dynamic style. I love using wide angle lenses and I shoot in all formats employing tungsten and electronic flash lighting equipment as needed.

Clients tell me that I work hard and am very easy to get along with.

An account executive at an ad agency recently left me this message:

"I got the photos and I just wanted to tell you they really look fabulous. You did a great job. You took a very ordinary looking house and made it look very good."

While it is great to be assigned to photograph exciting design, many of my advertising agency customers hire me to improve on less than spectacular projects.

I love architectural and interior work but I am also interested in many other aspects of photography. So I approach this web site as an outlet for personal expression as well as a place to show the work that I do for a living.
