Photography Experience:
I started in the 1980s as a fine art photographer doing landscape work in with large
format cameras. I published 2 posters and had images in magazines and visitor centers as
the results of this work, as well as several gallery shows. In the 1990s I began to work
with people and freelanced as a fashion photographer and did portraits, nudes and
alternative photography and occasional weddings. In the 1990s I moved into doing some
commercial work for antique/architectural photography and published in Colorado Homes
magazine. I expand the range of my work to include boudoir work, portraits, nudes, erotic
and VIP special events and conferences and even senior portraits. Some of my on going
projects on landscape became part of a Smithsonian Exhibition in 2005 in Washington DC and
I also had my portrait work recently on tour in Colorado for the adoption based
photography exhibit the Heart Gallery. I am continuing both my fine art work and my
commercial work on parttime freelance bases. I enjoy people and working with then to
create images. I’m hoping becoming a full time photographer in 2015 and return to the
fashion work and fine art people photography.
