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…

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 rock’n’roll 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,
“Capturing the raw essence of a moment, blending stark contrasts and intimate emotion in a way that feels like he's pulled the soul right into the frame.”
1. For the curious, some that I would consider ‘Virtual Mentors’ in this medium are: 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.
2. Arnold Newman (1918-2006) is regarded as the pioneer of the ‘Environmental Portrait.’
