About

I have had a studio in Chicago since 1981. I got my first big break shooting ads and fashion for Playboy. I shot ads for 30 years for McDonalds, Huggies, and Gatorade, Quaker and many more. I bring years of experience directing people to my work.

I love working with people and bringing the best out in the people I photograph. I also love hearing from people who tell this is the best photo they have ever had taken.

    ⁠Its a surprisingly personal question; no one else can decide how you measure your own
    success and its allowed to evolve over time. My definition has certainly transformed over

    Frequently asked questions

    I find what kind of portrait they want.  Do they want envionmental on in my studio. If they want a studio shot, what kind of a backgound do they like best.  What kind of clothing are they thinking about wearing. When my clents come for a photo session, I find out what kind of expression do they want.

    I always do different expressions and angles to find out what is best for them.

    I have a degree in Mechanical Engineering and 40 years plus experience.

    I recently worked with Erie Health Care on their annual report. I really enjoyed capturing the teamwork I saw at their facilities.
    Make sure if you are hiring a photograher for a day of portraits that they bring an assistant, also make sure they have a good process for each person to pick which shot they like.
    The main thing to think about about finding a photograhyer who's style they like is what is your budget.
