About
Acting head shots and model comps in natural light or using the finest flash equipment I can buy, all gurantee your success in what you do. You want professional looking shots, not selfies to show your quality.
For a long time my career centered around graphic design. Photography was just another detail. Then after beta testing graphic arts applications I found photography played a huge part in services I could offer more than my competition. Photography has become art to me. My customers deserve and will have my art.
Due to my education in lighting, color theory and with a graphic arts background, I produce better photos for the reason you need them. Most photographers only know photography. I have gone the extra mile for my customers.

Photography is my passion and completes my art.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Request for quote is answered.
Please don't choose me on price alone. Understand my work stands out due to the experience I have pleasing so many clients. AND my photo processing surpasses most other photographers because I have taught so many other photographers photography and post production.
My process is to shoot photos, do post production and put the images up on my web site in a password protected area for clients to proof the work and to buy prints receiving digitals of those images printed. Or, if arranged ahead, receive digital images.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Besides working in the graphic arts as art director and owning a printing company, I've been doing professional photography since 1974. Have owned two photo studios. One a commercial photo studio and the other portraits and weddings.
I'm always shooting with a layout in mind. For an album or a fashion spread, or for someones wall and home decoration.
Have pleased hundreds of customers and am still pleasing the most discriminating.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your services? If so, please share the details here.
Have packages designed for nearly any scenerio, beit a wedding, a commercial/corporate event or a high school grad session, babies, or boudoir session. Lighting, composition, and showing moods are my tools. My minimum is $200
How did you get started in this business?
As an art director, I had to work with photographers picked by the ad agencies I worked for. I got tired of photos that did not meet my design standards, so I began carrying my own camera on photo shoots that I was directing. Pretty soon, my shots were picked over the photographers. One thing lead to another and I combined my graphic design and photography.
What types of customers have you worked with?
I'm living full time in Naples, FL and am seeking more portrait work. Before moving here in 2015 - besides doing as many as 30 weddings per year, I traveled internationally and shot family portaits, maternity and babies along with high school seniors locally. But my commercial clients include:
* Consumer (Ace, Playboy, P. Lorillard - Marlboro)
* Retail (Sears, Evans Furs, Bergner’s)
* Travel (Tourism Council - Venezuela, Delta Airlines, Radisson Hotels)
* Publishing (Glencoe, McGraw-Hill, Good Apple, Que, and Open Court)
