‘Fashion with Attitude’ drives my photography. While smiles have their place, I challenge my models to explore other emotions during a shoot, resulting in images that feel bold, expressive, and alive.
I have more than 20 years of photography experience and moved from Fort Lauderdale to Sebring in April 2021. Photography is a creative pursuit for me rather than a business. I enjoy planning each session, creating the images, and completing the post-processing work.
The model receives a large selection of professionally processed, high-resolution images through a private online gallery or Dropbox folder. I especially enjoy helping new and developing models build varied portfolios and gain experience in front of the camera.
I have been a member of Model Mayhem for more than 19 years and have references available. You can view my Model Mayhem profile here.
I enjoy creating photographs, refining them in Adobe software, and sharing the finished work. Examples from previous sessions are available in my Flickr albums.
Indoor Studio Sessions
I spent several years studying studio lighting at Face2Face, a professional photography studio in Fort Lauderdale. I used that experience to design a large home studio in Sebring with twin strobes and seven background options, allowing me to create a variety of professional-looking images.
My studio is located across the street from Southgate Shopping Center. A complete session using several backgrounds and allowing time for outfit changes generally lasts 2½ to 3 hours. A trusted adult escort or chaperone is required and must remain respectful and avoid interfering with the session. Studio sessions can include fashion, portrait, lifestyle, and artistic concepts. I particularly enjoy creating expressive images with confidence, personality, and attitude.
Outdoor Photography Sessions
I am available for outdoor photography sessions in Sebring and the surrounding area. Depending on the concept, sessions may take place in parks, natural settings, downtown locations, or other suitable public areas.
Outdoor photography requires careful attention to the direction, intensity, and quality of the available light. My experience and training allow me to select locations and shooting times that produce flattering, professional-looking results.
Session Guidelines
Besides a chaperone that is required, I do recommend the model being a trusted friend. They will also improve the shoot with suggestions and sometimes they will direct the shoot.
I generally avoid pageant accessories—including crowns, sashes, and scepters—as well as political attire. My goal is to keep the focus on the model, clothing, expression, and setting.
