My Bio
Credo:
I believe, as did the ancient Greeks, that the female form is the embodiment of the divine. It is with this classical attitude that I photograph a woman's body. All of my models are collaborative artists and our mutual empathy is the fertile ground from which images of beauty and spirit may rise. Photography is my way of feeling, touching, loving, and revealing the Goddess within.

I have been involved in fine art photography for over forty years as a photographer and collector. The most fruitful seeds were sown in the early 1970's when I studied with legends such as Paul Caponigro, Andre Kertesz, Arnold Newman, George Tice and George Krauss. From these artists I acquired a deep appreciation for the medium and its expressive capabilities.

In 1998 I began a ten year endeavor which resulted in a world class collection of the most important fine art photography books of the late 19th and 20th centuries. This collection now resides at the New Hampshire Institute of Art in Manchester NH.

To date I've captured over 34,000 images of beautiful young women! Enough to keep me busy processing for a while. Although I've published many on DA, I have more to upload and process. They are here for those who have a true appreciation for the female form as a divine work of art. Quietly and contemplatively selecting the best images from so many photo sessions is one of the rewards of fine art figure photography. Even more rewarding is developing the images to best reveal the true physical beauty and spirit of my collaborators. Each young woman brings her own unique energy to a session and her own sense of the beautiful. It is my labor of

your work is very beautiful and inspiring, many thanks for share
Thanks for watching
Thank you for the favourite, John and I couldn't agree more with your interpretation of the classic fine art nude. It exactly surmises why I photograph the female nude and try to interpret its inherant beauty.
Thank you John. I'm glad we're on the same wavelength.
