Upcoming shoot

This weekend I have a shoot scheduled with the lovely and awesome Natalie Minx.  We had a lot of fun together the last time she visited and I’m glad that she’s come back to Hawaii to shoot again.   This time I think I’ll shoot much more film with her than I did last time. [...]

New calendar available!

On my first shoot with a wonderful model named ashleigh, I noticed a tattoo on her arm that said, in Italian, “The Beautiful Life” I felt that it was kismet that we were to meet and create wonderful art together.
It’s not just a saying to me now. To me it’s a statement that reflects the [...]

Photo Shoot – 7/12/09

After more than two months of not shooting nudes, I finally decided it was time for me to get back into the seeing of things and shoot nudes again.  I had to take the break for financial reasons and I certainly have missed the creation of the art.
I find it interesting because over the past [...]

Shooting this weekend!!

I’m in the process of scheduling a shoot this weekend with a model I’ve worked with only once before but have been trying to put together another shoot with for a long time.  For one reason or another everytime weve tried to shoot together, it’s fallen apart.  so I’m hoping that this weekend will be [...]

If you’re on Oahu or will be on [...]

Newest Book!

Nudes & Trees! A collection of some of my most favorite images featuring the nude female form and… you guessed it, trees. It’s really been a strange, yet wonderful occurrence on many of my shoots. Trees seem to be so inspirational to me and to the models as well.  I am deeply [...]

50mm’s of fun!

During my last shoot, I took a few shots at the beginning of the shoot with my new 50mm lens but then switched back to my standard 18mm-135mm lens for the rest of it.  I wanted to test out the lens and see how it captured nudes.  What I didn’t want was to spend an [...]

Art book reccomendations…

Yesterday I recieved an email from the very talented photographer, David Winge.  He wrote to ask about Blurb.com.  The company that is printing my latest books.  He was writing to ask about how the prints look.  and what my experience with the company was like.  I really like Blurb.com.  they seem to be a great [...]

Good news on a rather dull morning

As I drove in to work this morning, I kept looking at the sky and seeing the clouds blocking out the sun.  One of the things I love about Hawaii is the sunrise.  It’s so dramatic and vibrant on most days.  Today… gray sky!  It bums me out because I have a shoot with Sylvia [...]
