The right light is important during a shoot and it is always fascinating to me when the stars align on a successful photo session experience.  A good night's sleep the night before the shoot is to insure that a sense of rested and grounded wholeness translates through the soul's window with occasional direction from me as The Observer.  You may notice that in the majority of my work my primary focus is for the viewer to be locked into the image not by the wardrobe or by the setting - only by the eyes.  My photography subjects cover a selective range that includes brides, graduating seniors, models and actors, animals / pets, architecture, families, cookbook/menu cuisine, leaders in business, the arts, and moments / scenes in nature.  At one time in my life I thought I wanted to be in the spotlight myself but after spending time in front of the cameras of some great photographers in NYC in my early twenties , I determined that being behind the lens is the best fit for me.
