About my work, and your photographs

Photography is at its best a dynamic form of communication. Good photographs tell others and remind ourselves of all that makes this life meaningful...who we love, what we do, who we are, what matters to us. But photographers also speak into and shape the photograph through lighting and technical expertise, while evoking expression and interaction between people, or by simply recording what is there, with good composition, light, and technical skills.

I love taking photographs of people...inside or out, in their environment, or in my studio. I call it "organic"--because it's real, it's natural, it's who you are.

Your project is important to me, too. Give me a call so we can discuss your custom photography session!
Organic portraiture

Natural, "organic" portraits and headshots aren't something you can just do for yourself with any old camera, or even purchase at the mall. Your portraits, whether made in your environment or in my studio, have to say something about you, show something about who you are...and that is done with skill and sensitivity in lighting, in technology, a creative, artistic vision and the ability to communicate with and understand people.
Photography is all about the subject, and how the light describes the subject; it's the light that defines and highlights the people in the photograph. I love playing with light.
The photos that move us capture that. They tell us something about the human condition, the beauty of the world around us, or on a simpler level, about the character and personality of the people themselves in the image.
This is what I want for you.

Relationships are what make the world go round. I want my photographs to be beautiful, but I want my photography to show your personality, your relationships..in other words, YOU and what matters most to you. Third, your portrait reflects me. And I know about how we all make decisions about businesses, and people in the workplace. I'm committed to creating for you excellent photographs that stand out above the rest. You look good, and so do I. I look forward to talking with you. Call me at 708-751-0009 for a free consultation. I'd be happy to discuss customizing your session, and answer your questions!

Alice in Wonderland

It’s been a very busy month photographically, with a number of projects underway. One of the projects I’ve had was in helping out the park district with headshots for their upcoming show, Alice in Wonderland. In order to cast as many local actors as possible, the park district decided to run the show with two…
