model: enrique

"people! i love meeting new people. they inspire me. i love creating too. to start with an everyday sorta guy and end up with incredible images is such a kick!"

model: scott

"i hope i have more than one style although my dark and moody images seem to be popular lol. i have tried to get the feel of an oil painting into them, especially in the way the limited light falls on a model. light is the photographers greatest tool it can change the mood and change the shape of a models face. i guess it’s the reason i prefer studio images"

model: antonio

"five things i can't live without? cameras, music, my car, my friends and sadly cigarettes but i’m still trying to give up!"

model: zach

"i think its difficult to capture everything in ten shoots, especially with the right model. there are so many moods and styles that are possible. it’s why i enjoy working with a few select models so we can create ideas together. however every image i take captures a mood or tells a story..i hope!"

model: alexy

"out of place situation? err… i’m not good at names so once booked the wrong model, but nothing disastrous."

model: antonio

"for aspiring models its all about finding a good photographer and a good agent..its who you know"

model: luca

"it’s a joint creation i can see what the camera sees. what can feel awkward for a model is often interesting on camera. modeling is not about posing but looking relaxed and interesting in some way"

model: hugh

"wow what a difficult question! to me it’s about capturing a unique look or mood. the hardest thing is to develop a style that is your own and then combine that style with your model’s unique look: then its photography."
model: nick

"one of the hardest thing on this field is making some models look like their comp cards! there’s more photoshop than photography needed then."

he knows how to do backgrounds in such a way that the background will not overshadow the model. thats the interesting part about him.
