These monumental stone pillars from the Wilcox dry lake bed were used to promote the Tucson Arizona 2010 Art Season. In reality, they were only about 5-1/2 ft tall. Perspective is everything…

Tucson Weekly Article: Ready for Receptions?
It was around dusk as I propped my camera against a trash can, clamped down the aperture, and held steady for a long exposure shot of this beautifully lit merry-go-round. As a gallery installation piece, it was mesmerizingly bright, with an audio complement of dreamy sounds of eight fairgrounds from around the world.

Al Foul & The Shakes, Live at The District
Tucson Arizona, June 8th, 2013 at 12:39 AM
There was a time when Tucson was uber-dimensional. The desert comes alive at night with dry crisp air, cactus flowers, and a special blend of humans unlike anywhere else on Earth. Desert Rockabilly, when done right, is transformational – and Al and the band had a hypnotic mind lock on the crowd. Including me!

The level of trust required to photograph women is beyond description. You can always tell if the model was comfortable by examining their eyes – the eyes never lie.

During one of my first fashion photography shoots, we almost ruined this $800 handmade one-of-a-kind goose feather-down dress by having the model walk down the road. Did you know that you can remove dirt and grime from white feathers with slices of white bread? Yeah, museum curator tricks are awesome.

Without trust, no one will show you their intimate, their ‘inner speak’ – and trust is a must when it comes to fine art nudes.

LoveSmack Studios, Tucson Arizona
2012 – 2015
A side project of mine was to bring Tucson’s fashion and beauty industry together in one place and LoveSmack Studios filled the need. Crafted into a social hub, we offered live fashion photoshoots, meet & greets, workshops, and meet-ups for Tucson’s top models, photographers, hair & makeup artists, stylists, and clothing designers.

It was a total joy to shoot these wonderful women of the Tucson Ladies Council at the historic Tucson Country Club Clubhouse. Believe it or not, it was very windy, and often I had to hold my 6ft parabolic reflector down with my foot while capturing them laughing and having a great time.

Lazarus Flowers

Believe it or not, these flowers were dried up and about to be thrown away. A little water spritzing, some creative lighting, and a black fabric backdrop and they came to life again!
