Advertising photographer and art director .....Also doing photo workshops locally. My workshops are centered around the spirituality of photography.

I've been a photographer for over 35 years shooting advertising and fashion, music, entertainment, you name it I've shot it; swimsuits to car campaigns. My career spans the late 70's, 80's, 90's and here we are ....still shooting and keeping it edgy and cool. These days I do photography workshops for aspiring photographers as well as makeup artists, models and anyone interested in getting into this exciting rewarding industry be it film or print. As an environmentalist I encourage students to be grounded to the earth rather than technology. I consider imagination to be as important if not more important than the camera you use. My passion now is shooting hair and music ...The way I approach a shoot is from a one on one platform....no board meetings or fences around creative. I'm doing big projects within the rock / metal genre incorporating video and drones but keeping it organic in terms of approach and editing. I enjoy creating and developing a brand and that can be a product, hotel, or an artist. Working with smaller creative teams is more fun that the advertising agency machine. I especially enjoy working with and developing imagery for musicians. Over the years I've won many awards for art direction, annual reports and fashion photography. My fashion photography has been primarily location work although I am as comfortable in studio or in any unfamiliar situation. I believe in getting oneself out of that comfort zone which for me breathes creativity. Each project is an opportunity to push the creative envelope and explore ideas everyone on a shoot brings forth .....hair, makeup, styling, modelling.....

I see these fall leaves outside the studio and was looking at the intricacy of the internal vein network within each leaf. To illustrate these better, I thought back lighting them would do them justice so brought them into the studio to shoot. The possibilities are endless with regard to the designs and lighting possibilities . Nature is amazing without man's " intervention and help" which only destroys, not edifies. There's around 30 images to play with. I had to stop somewhere LOL ....

Nature never ceases to be fascinating and beautiful when we take the time to " see " . The one green leaf just off center really caught my eye. I think it is symbolic in that it's okay to be a little different within the " big picture."

I just finished a series on trees .....this was one I liked. When doing a pic like this , of course it can look totally different depending upon the light. One can visit the scene on different occasions in varying light and be undecided as to which version is most interesting.....Less contrast seemed to be best with this to maintain the subtle tones in the leaves and bark. Same line of thinking when photographing men or women. LOL

Often when out in the woods with the dogs, I would imagine a thing like a bubble whereby one could simply step through it and enter a different dimension .....Imagine that.
Many times I would "see" a bubble and thus : The Forest Bubble was created here .
And.....no drugs to do it LOL.....Just old fashioned organic imagination coupled with that bewilderment youngsters have before it is beaten out of them. There does exist more dimensions than the one we are having this experience in.

This time of year the light is amazing .....Taken along the Rail Trail .

We are surrounded by distractions that don't necessarily edify us in ways that are healthy. Nature has a very moving and powerful effect on our emotions and actual physical being. As I look through archives of work I shot commercially for big clients, in big cities, with big groups of crew on set, I feel much more connected to these small Ravens in this mist. Silence and stillness of heart. Even the click of the camera shutter seems in some way, a violation.

This wasn't my idea. Being a climber myself, I had a good look at this rock face and it wasn't that solid but Mars wanted to do this pic for me anyway. Being a Russian gymnist, he knew what his capabilities were so we did a series including a handstand on this same ledge.

Sorting through boxes of old pictures I did , I came across this one which was always one that I loved because of it's simplicity and the connection between the dog and the " cheese slice." LOL I was around 18 or 19 when I shot this on a Pentax camera. My girlfriend used to baby sit this little boy. The moment happened in front of a big window which to this day, is a favorite of mine for soft lighting .
Even after all these years making pictures, I am grateful for friend photography has been and continues to be. People, pets, places sometimes seem to be long ago, but a photo brings all the magic and emotion right back to mind and heart.
