I began my photographic adventure late in life. I had always wanted to be a professional photographer and toyed with the idea. At the age of 28 I bought my first real SLR. It has been a magical journey ever since. It was as if I was destined for it. My understanding of the process remarkably quickened, as if my brain and soul were meant for this. I immersed myself into honing my skills and style, working with master photographers until I saw the light. Now every task I undertake is a learning and growing experience.

    I started off photographing people, doing head-shots, portraits and modeling portfolios. From there I moved to weddings and special events. Wanting to grow, I took on more commercial photography and more complex lighting situations. Photographing product, food. interiors and architecture. I worked in photographic labs processing all types of film, printing, and as a copy technician, becoming extremely efficient. I photograph flat and three dimensional artwork for numerous artists.

    As the digital age grew so did I. Working with digital was a bit difficult at first. I understood the photographic process and wanted to remain old school but progress was upon me. There was a whole new process to learn with all those new terms like pixels and sensors, unsharp masking, inkjet printing and resolution, resampling, bicubic interpolation. The list seemed endless, but alas, I now teach people what to do with their digital cameras and computers. I instruct them how to manage their files, calibrate their monitors, set their printers profiles and how to manipulate their images. Now digital seems easy for me.
