As a photographer my photos achieve a natural inward beauty, interest and energy. I achieve this through getting to know my subjects even if briefly, making them feel relaxed and comfortable. I believe the inner spirit should prevail in a portrait, along with beautiful lighting and composition. I enjoy all types of people and my headshots are reflective of that. My clientele is wide and varied and includes doing Authors' book covers (Recently having photographed comic legend Pat Cooper's book cover for his autobiography "How Dare You Say How Dare Me!"), magazine editorials, and personal publicity portraits for many top editors, executives and publishers. I have
received photographic assignments from Hearst Publications, Hachette
Fillapacchi, The Baryshnikov Dance Foundation, Gruner and Yahr, top law firms and major corporations such as Daimler-Chrysler, Accenture, ADT and American Express Publishing, as well as the leading international skin care company Weleda.
I also have a large following in the world of Classical Music. I have photographed CD covers, Media kits and Publicity photos for many recording artists including the Metropolitan Opera Harpist Mariko Anraku, Contemporary Ensemble Eighth Blackbird, The Harlem Quartet, Flutist Tara O'Connor, Pianists Grace Nikae and Mia Chung. Recently, I photographed the new Grammy-nominated Imani Winds CD for Koch International Classics. Other musicians include country western singer Orville Davis and rap singer Redman.
I have always looked at Photography as a lifelong love and commitment to excellence, professionalism and most of all FUN!

Editorially my work has appeared in Details, Genre, Detour Magazine, Spur Magazine Japan, Child Magazine, Dance Spirit, Savoy and Playgirl among others. I also love photographing dancers and have done many headshots for The Paul Taylor Dance Company and The Merce Cunningham Dance Company.
One of my passions includes shooting top quality actor headshots at my photo studio in New York City. Whether it is a celebrity or someone just getting started my headshots of actors reflect a unique sense of confidence and charisma. For years I have been referred by top agents, publicists, managers and word of mouth. Many notable actors have gotten their start at my studio from their headshots.
Currently I am working on a coffeetable book project featuring legendary celebrities in the worlds of the arts and culture. These include photographs of Carol Channing, Tony Randall, Paul Sorvino, Marilyn Horne, Eli Wallach, Helen Gurley Brown, Geoffrey Holder, Zoe Caldwell, Soupy Sales and Hume Cronyn. Other actors and musicians I have photographed headshots for include Jennifer Esposito, Matthew Fox, Cheyenne Jackson, Kelly Ripa, Sam Harris, and The RZA of the Wu-Tang Clan. In addition I have enjoyed shooting photographs for clothing designer Marc Jacobs, writers Paul Rudnick, Stewart Elliot, Douglas Carter Beane, Todd Haines, Susan Cooper, Douglas Brinkley and Playwright Terrance McNally. I am also working on a collection of Fine Art Nudes.
