I love creating art with people who love being in front of the camera! The Fox Valley of Wisconsin may not have the biggest modeling and fashion community – but it makes up for it with a lot of talent and enthusiasm!

Why modeling photography? Well, first off I am a strong supporter of the arts. I’ve been a musician all my life and wish I had the hand eye coordination to be a painter. So art has been a joy to me all my life & photography is a way to give something back.

Second, I really enjoy creating art with my friends. I love to meet new people and enjoy helping them to go after their dreams. I’ll never be rich or famous but maybe I can help someone else to those goals.

I am always up for portfolio work and offer special rates for the modeling community. Contact me for more information.

Below is a sample of my recent modeling work along with a few favorites.

    A blazing fire provides a perfect foreground for some fiery portraits. Nataly and I met on a December evening to experiment with vintage lenses. After the vintage lens fun we stopped by the Neenah skating rink and did a little digital photography with modern lenses. The fire pit provided a great foreground for some intenseโ€ฆ Read more: Fiery Portrait
  • Waterfall Tintypes Portraits with Amber
    Spent a wonderful morning capturing waterfall tintype portraits with Amber. Wequiock Falls was so beautiful with just the right amount of water coming over – dramatic without being dangerous.
