Appearances


We each have faces we expose to the world and others that we prefer  to retain for few to see.  
The contradiction makes the work of the photographer much more interesting.  Which is the mask and which the face revealed when the mask slips?

Aspirations



Beauty is supposedly skin deep, physical perfection, however defined, a rarity controlled
by a combination of good luck and genetics.
The perfect face, the arresting body, the ability to move with grace. Few of us are granted all three.  But we have a fourth attribute which more than compensates for any  perceived shortfalls. We are blessed with personalities and those wonderful sparks we strike with our eyes and our expressions.
My primary aim is to capture something of what enlivens us for others.
I want to create spicy, saucy, contemporary shots that both the subject and the artist agree
shows some aspect of the model's character.
