My portfolio shows a primary interest in portraiture, but I will take on conceptual and fashion work when the opportunity presents itself. Portraiture is more than a pretty picture. What I try to explore is the essence of the subject's personality. Complete trust and the ability to move beyond your safe zone are key elements in the process.

Emotive or "dark" portraiture is an area of interest to me, with the right model. Strong images are produced when the model can find an emotional connection with the conceptual theme. If you have that ability, or are willing to challenge yourself, say Hi, and throw a few thoughts at me.

TFP is available on an individual basis.

A couple of things prospective models should ponder with respect to TFP.

I am not in favour of releasing unedited images from a shoot. Neither do I retouch every single shot we take. But I DO encourage and value your input and thoughts in the selection process. Generally, the best 2 or 3 frames from each look will be edited from each wardrobe, hair, or make-up change.

Please understand that I don't release full resolution digital files to be printed just anywhere. I highly value accurate colour reproduction and quality printing. To that end, I prefer to maintain where the work is printed. There are a few quality labs in Calgary that I'd be happy to recommend. Lower resolution digital files for web posting will be emailed to you, or provided on a CD.

I am always interested to work with make up artists and designers who enjoy the challenge of novel concepts. TFP can sometimes be part of that formula. If you are inspired and would like to explore your concept photographically, please message me so we can get together and create the vision.
