In shooting portraits, my intention is to convey the essence, persona, and likeness of an individual, and for the resulting image to have lasting interest through time.
   

Natural Light

 I shoot with natural light and often in the subject's own surroundings.  The focus is on the individual in a relaxed, natural and unself-conscious state of mind. 
Cinematic Studio I shoot these portraits in my studio.  With my background as a Cinematographer, I use Cinematic lighting techniques to create an elegantly lit, classically stylized portrait.  
   
   
  I shoot most portraits with a Hasselblad camera on medium format film.
