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.

    Your work is wonderful and you work with some bootiful ladies , doesnt it make you a bit jealous being an ex model yourself. I sometimes do makeup and it feels so weird to be the background girl. Maybe i'm just meant to be infront of the camera lol.. well done though, your doing a great job. Give me a shout if your ever in the UK.
