Be they gemstones or gizmos, I'm fascinated by every thing that people need, want and use. Someone designed it with the hope of satisfying another person. They had us in mind. And so I keep them and their prospective customers in mind. Hero spreads or small parts catalogs, show the world what you got!
Fabulous interiors are spirited invitations. Workshop or playpen, sanctuary or storefront, let's see your sandbox and the mighty castles created upon it. I photograph artistic offices, premium residential, dens of thieves, lounges, living rooms, parlors, salons, your grandmother's drawing room and all sorts of peculiar people places.
Of course I want to go to your show. Guide me through your event to capture exactly who and what you need, or send me off to browse the extravaganza on my own. I'll get your shot list and bring home some extras too. I dress up, or down, fitting perfectly for any occasion. Weekend and evening bookings always available.
