I've just opened a studio in mid-cities DFW -- with beautiful windows, I can still shoot natural light without having to be out in this HEAT. Drop me a line if you are interested in shooting.

*** NEW STUDIO ***

My first camera was a little silver and black Kodak Instamatic in the 70s. I still have some of those early black and white negatives, including a portrait of my best friend. He's posing in a white t-shirt and black pants, leaning on a metal trash can. That camera started my love of photography, and a 35mm Topcon Uni my father bought in Thailand in the 60s solidified it. I spent high school learning everything I could about composition and lighting while I worked my camera for the newspaper and yearbook. In college, I continued to teach myself everything I could as I took on various freelance challenges. The artistic style developed during this time was completely uncontaminated by "formal art education."
This style is what I bring to my portrait work. The world and the people in it are beautiful, and I use my camera to show the world the beauty that I see all around me. Beyond using interesting angles, lighting, and the ocassional location work, I also take the time to get to know my subjects and their desires. The result is an unhurried, more relaxed session. This relaxed atmosphere means more natural expressions and poses - and overall better results.
I am entertaining limited TFPs if there is something for both of us to gain from such a shoot. My rates otherwise are quite reasonable, please email for more information.
