emerging from the bayous of Louisiana... a child of the 50’s with an insatiable joie de vie and thirst for knowledge, an innovative and powerful photographic talent spanning four decades.

intrigued by the whims of fashion, captivated by all that is the female form... drawing influences of the genius of the artist Modigliani, mid century master Willy Ronis and the iconic fashion photographer Richard Avedon... all shaping my unique and enduring style.

master of both natural and artificial sources, uniquely able to paint and sculpt with light, creating subtle, yet dynamic images. location specialist energized by the challenges of working in diverse environs with complex lighting, equally adept to deliver powerful visual concepts within the studio .

long since over the loss of my dear departed Kodachrome®... completely digitized, empowered with state-of-the-art photographic equipment. utilizing a refined dual workflow that exhibits my vast level of experience with both: for print and for digital output, projects are now more effective, efficient and economical.

philosophy: my images tell a story, a tale to draw the viewer in and make them a part of the saga… ultimately my goal is to touch the soul through the eye.
