About Me

I am a retired ballet dancer and director based in Pittsburgh, PA with a second space in Richmond, VA.  I am currently shooting portraiture, figure studies, editorial/narrative, and urban artistic works.  I am happy to collaborate with models of all ethnicities, genders/identities, and experience levels. 

Almost any genre or concept will be considered with the following limitations: No images depicting intolerance, misogyny, homophobia, transphobia, or hatred of any kind; no distress, incapacitation, or coercion; no illicit behavior; no weapons, violence, or self-harm; no smoking, vaping, or drugs; no endangerment; no sexually explicit images; no OF or similar content.

Model's companion or photographer's assistant required for first session.

"Easily one of the best shoots and one of my favorite people ever. We talked like we had known each other our whole lives, both share an understanding and awareness of how our bodies should look and flow from being former ballet dancers who always practiced in front of that full-length mirror in class, almost completely lost track of time once we were on a roll, and he even got me to my bus on time on the way home with two or three minutes to spare. On top of that, he told me I exceeded his expectations and that he was totally blown away by me. It’s quite a challenge to whittle down 10 of my favorite photos to just three or four. He transformed me into a siren who I could barely recognize. I was on a high for days after." Read less
