I have been shooting photographic nudes for more than 40 years. Initially I just did personal work – traditional B&W torsos on medium format film in the studio. Since the switch to digital I have entered other areas of the medium. I now shoot everything from fine art B&W to erotica. I am currently working on two series: Nudes with Pears and The Yellow Dress series, featuring a 1962 yellow Homecoming dress. Additionally I have started test shooting for a series of Latin works based on the iconography of Mexico.
I have had numerous one-man and group shows of my work which includes extensive photo documentation of Cuba. I have published an award winning 12x12 B&W coffee table book of life in Cuba and am a lecturer on Cuba for schools, universities and service clubs. My work is in numerous collections.
I am continuing to work on a vintage lingerie (pin-up) and a “faces” series as well. I have always tried to present women as empowered, despite the situation (they are often nude after all), and one of my main issues is mistreatment of women on all levels throughout the world.
I make my living as a commercial photographer and do the fine art work as my escape from that world.
