About Me
My Passion
I discoverd my passion for Photography just after NAVY boot camp, and instantly knew I wanted to do this for my career. In 1987 I finally became a Photographers mate 3rd class. In 1989 I returned to my Home town of Las Vegas, Bicycling over 2,200 miles from Pensacola Florida. Cycling was my second passion I discovered during my NAVY career. Since then I have worked as a photographer for Mirage and Treasure Island hotel casinos as well as a few of the popular nightclubs of the early and mid 90's.
My Style
My Favorite theme is Glamour Photography at Unique Locations. Some of my favorites are the local Dry Lake Beds, Red Strone, Coral Dunes, Black Rock Hill, the waterfalls at Mount Charleston & old ghost towns or abandoned factories. I am well known for my Underwater Photography & My Steam Silhouettes are a Signature Style that is easily recognized. I also do UV; Black Light, Light Painting & Back-Lit Rain photography. Recently I started doing Auto and Motorcycle Photography, also with the Rain FX, in my 1000sf studios. As my Home Studio grows with numerous renovations & additions I will have Dozens more, Indoor & Outdoor settings for Galmour shoots.
My Gear
I am Currently using both Canon and Sigma cameras.
My Canon 5DSR which is 50+MP SLR.
My Sigma is their flagship SD1 which is Comparable to a 50+ MP and is truly Phenomenal with its FOVEON image censor.
My Studios
I have 2 Studios at my Home. Both are approximately 400 sf with vaulted ceilings for tall backdrops. The garage studio will be expanded soon to be 600 sf. I use the Garage studio for my Back-Lit Rain, Steam Silhouettes, Aerial stunt & Auto and Motorcycle Photography. I also have a 4ft X 8ft Light table you can park a motorcycle on top of. I use the main Studio for portraits, Glamour Photography etc. I also have a Pool with the deep end painted black that I use for my Underwater work.
I also use my guestroom, fireplace, Full Glass front door & open staircase for shoots. Soon I will be changing the front door to Double Glass Front doors, building a 3 sided window seat that will extend out onto a front porch, & out back, a covered balcony with an open sun deck area, a 2 story casita, jacuzzi, waterfall & at least 3 uniquely themed bathrooms. All of which can be used for my Glamour & Boudoir Photography.
