I was born and raised in Chicago, Illinois and over the decades I have developed a diverse client base, along with mastering the art of making my subjects feel comfortable in front of the lens. I have been photographing for over 40 years with many of my images appearing in numerous publications around the globe.
In the span of my career, I have been involved in a variety of different types of photo shoots both on location and in the studio working with a wide range of different types of clientele. I have worked directly with agencies and art directors on specific advertising campaigns along with private clients that hire me for their specific photo needs.
I pay great attention to detail during photo sessions and work closely with my clients to acheive a wonderful experience along with great photographs
My father was a photographer when he was in the army, so there was always a still camera or a movie camera around at every family gathering. Besides shooting with a Graflex Speed Graphic 4x5 when enlisted in the army, his camera of choice became the Rolleiflex twin lens reflex that shot 120mm film. That was my first camera that my father handed down to me. Ever since I was a young boy, I can remember the amazement whenever my father took me into his darkroom to show me the magic of photography. The red safety light, the big enlarger along with trays full of liquid that would magically produce an image on a blank piece paper after about a minute or so. I thought that was just so cool.
