Commissioned Works

As a fine art photographer, I am frequently asked if I will produce great pictures of "ordinary" people, i.e., people who are not professional models. It comes as a surprise to some to learn that those I photograph are largely nonprofessionals--especially concerning nudes. I enjoy the look of real people. My work is about beauty; I seek to show the best views of people. I do private commissions -- photographing many women and some couples -- for themselves or as a special gift. The photo shown below is a sample of an image which was the result of a sitting with an amateur model.

Typically, I charge for travel time to visit a client's location. Many of the images I make are taken in situ -- often in ordinary circumstances. Sometimes, for example, I throw a background cloth over a wall in a sunny room and do interesting work. I often use the environment to enhance the image. If you prefer, you could come to a Victorian mansion which I use as a location in London Ontario. A typical session lasts two hours.

After viewing contact sheets or proofs, you may wish to order exhibition quality prints, an album or mounted and framed prints such as those I sell on my site. I can send you more information on these options.

Confidentiality and Anonymity

Maintaining anonymity is a crucial career requirement for many of my clients when they are photographed nude or seminude. Physicians, teachers, lawyers, and other professionals have chosen to trust me. I can promise you to respect your need for privacy.

Is this choice for you? All my subjects and clients, who are of widely varying appearance and age, have expressed great satisfaction with my work. Some clients/models have volunteered to model again gratis as they enjoyed seeing themselves thus transformed, and some have paid for a second opportunity.

Portraits of Companion Animals

I am familiar and sympathetic to human-animal relationships and the deep connections that animals can have with us. For the very finest in sensitive, personal portraits of companion animals, contact me for information about a session.
