What began as a spark of curiosity while on tour in Japan,
Has now turned into something…
More.
Over the years,
a transition happened.
From ME asking friends if THEY minded if I pulled out my camera while we were backstage waiting to play…
…to being asked if I would.
This curious endeavor eventually led to…
Album Covers
Times Square
BillboardsArt Direction For Album Packages
Commissioned Work For Artists & Larger Brands
Print Media Across The Globe
Still, I’m asked…
“How would you
describe your
photographic style?”
So, here’s what I usually say…
Taking inspiration from the iconic reportage
photojournalism and film photography of the early 1970s*,
My photographic style leans towards 'candid documentary' or what some have called,
with a propensity for the timelessness of black-and-white film.
Once, an artist I was
playing with described it as,
“Raw, Anti-Glamour” and that seems to fit.
1. Jim Marshall, Jill Freedman, Elliot Erwitt, Michael Cooper, Arnold Newman, Anton Corbijn, Jill Furmanovsky, Danny Clinch, Fan Ho, Jim Herrington, Yuka Fuji, and Daniel Kramer to name a few of my favorites, and what I call ‘Virtual Mentors’…
2. Arnold Newman (1918-2006) is regarded as the pioneer of the ‘Environmental Portrait.’
