ON A PERSONAL LEVEL:
My biggest inspiration and the reason why I love pin-up and retro glamour photography comes from my Grandmother Jessie who raised me. I was fortunate enough to have that influence in my life from an early age in addition to an appreciation for old movies and music from the big band era. Growing up as a child in the 70's and being a big Evel Kneivel fan has had it's affect on me as well. I love portraying the influences that I grew up with in my work and inspiring my models and clients that have the same vision.

ON A PROFESSIONAL LEVEL:
Pin-Up Photographer for Rod and Kulture Illustrated Magazine http://www.rodandkulture.com

I am a freelance fashion, music/entertainment and editorial photographer with over 20 years experience. I shoot a wide variety of styles in the studio and on location. I specialize in modern fashion and pin-up/retro glamour. In addition, I offer complete model portfolios, promotional shots for actors/musicians and product photography for catalog work.

    Too bad ya missed it! I have one hanging in Bay City Barber down town if you'd like see one. One of my good friends Nicky the Barber http://www.myspace.com/lesterdimond let me hang my 1956 Lincoln pic. He's a great dude and if you know anyone who wants a real vintage barber he's it. Hopefully we'll be able to hang out at the next one.
