Answers,
in no particular order, to frequently asked questions
I
live and am based in Toronto, Canada, but am willing
to travel. I was in art schools for nine years, studying
graphics and filmmaking. I got interested in still photography
later.
I
worked in the media full-time for about ten years, which
is how I came to photograph so many people in the entertainment
business.
Computers
do not play a part in my photos. The colours and effects
are achieved on set, in camera, through lighting and
exposure. Some of the art directors I work with combine
multiple images, but the look is already there. I use
standard transparency and negative films with normal
processing. The colours on the prints and transparencies
are better than on the computer screen.
The
women in the nudes range in age from 18 - 36. None of
them are actual models, although a few used to be. "Meticulous"
was my first solo show, and I approached the women.
For "Slinky" they all approached me.
I
am always looking for new models and interesting ideas.
Yes,
I accept private commissions. Yes, I shoot commercial
assignments.
The
majority of what I shoot is on medium format, but I
also use 35 mm a lot for journalism, 4x5 in the studio
and quite a bit of digital, mostly for web-based and
catalogue assignments.
I
process all my own black and white negatives and do
all my own printing, B&W and color, from negs and transparencies.
