Friday April 17, 2026 at the Sarasota Modern in Sarasota, Fl.  To create a “retro feel” with Daniel’s “Valley Of the DALLS” collection - Autumn/Winter 2021. I went with the single strobe technique I experimented with early in my career. The very same strobe technique that Terry Richardson and Ellen von Unwerth made as their signature in Fashion campaigns.

This series of images with Malini sitting on the vintage chair. Were shot in one of the 70s themed rooms.

Model Test

Thursday Oct 30th, 2025

I received an email confirming I was to test a male face for his book/comp/page on Wilhelmina’s NYC website. After several discussions about what was needed with his booking agent Blake, on Thursday Nov 6 I received a text from Ken T. We scheduled to shoot on Church St. in Orlando.

Monday Nov 10, 2025 was an unusually cold day in downtown Orlando. I parked on Church St to meet Ken.

In this series of images, I directed Ken to simply stand between the double doors at the 1 Up Orlando. All images were sent for Blake to select what will ultimately be used.

Saturday March 14, 2026.  I experimented with the single strobe next to the lens technique early in my career. That Terry Richardson and Ellen von Unwerth made as their signature in the Fashion campaigns they shot.

Concept exercise

Friday Nov 28, 2025 a sunny afternoon at Coquina Beach South in Bradenton, Fl.  Its sand dunes and saw grass were reminiscent of the ones at Le Touquet-Paris-Plage, Fr. This concept exercise is what I envisioned in discussions with Sheril for her Uhura campaign.

This series of images were shot with Maria’s subtle movements sitting on the sand.

Saturday April 28, 2018, was a sunny spring day at Taylor’s Auto Salvage outside of St. Louis. This was the second location for the Battle Beauties NYFW/PFW 2019 campaign.

The Auto Salvage with its bone yard had wide open spaces, ideal for the feel in this campaign. Once Rine was freshened up and dressed, we started on the hill in the wide open area before moving on into the bone yard.

In this series, Rine is standing on the door sill of a partially stripped Chevy Monte Carlo.

Chicago Fashion Magazine

May 2005

Contrary to popular belief. I’ve shot swimsuit editorials, not necessarily on a beach. This one involving a 1955 Jaguar Type D replica. It was the first editorial I shot with a DSLR.

I checked out the Kodak (F3) DCS when it was released in 1991. I switched from Film to digital using the Nikon D1 (2.7MP APS-C CCD) Oct 1999 when documenting the Dave Matthews Band for the fan club’s website (The Warehouse). Eventually digitally shooting musicians like Neil Diamond, John Mayer, David Gray, Matisyahu, Nora Jones, N.E.R.D., Switchfoot, The Band Feel, etc. It took the Nikon D2x/D2xs (12MP APS-C CMOS) when I finally dove head first into digital for campaigns outside of music promo/live performances.

In this series of images, Vanessa sitting in the cockpit of the Jaguar Type D replica.

Location: The Morton Arboretum Lisle, Illinois

After a couple months of discussions with Sheril and John Henry in developing this campaign, Jae was selected at my recommendation. Sheril was intrigued that Jae was born and raised on the Cherokee Nation reservation in Oklahoma.

Wednesday Dec 13, 2023 was a beautiful day when I met Jae with her son Avery just north of Orlando. We started shooting once she changed into the first of Sheril’s designs.

This series of images was shot with Jae playing with the palm tree by the column.
