Portraits

I want to make the kinds of images that you'd want to grab on your way out of a burning house.

People often ask me if there is something in particular they should wear. Wear what you feel comfortable wearing.

Each sitter should come up with ten words to describe how you want the photographs to look, feel like, or convey. This may make certain people between the ages of 13 – 17 roll their eyes.

Where we take the pictures is also a question that comes up. Some of the best work I've done was with people in their own homes. For myself, I know that I treasure those photographs that show the house I grew up in. Also, people are most comfortable in their own environment. That being said, I've taken portraits in all different environments.
