I am an artist, photographer, and designer, who enjoys the eternal supply of loveliness, beauty and wonders found everywhere in my surroundings. My small company provides photo services for almost any photographic needs in the Hampton Roads area and beyond. I specialize mostly in events like weddings, engagements, family reunions and birthday parties. Naturally and spontaneously I am capturing that extraordinary moment of yours in pictures that you will cherish for generations. For all the events I am using the term "photojournalism" to define a genre that recognizes coverage in real time by me being respectful of the natural occurrences without assuming a leadership position in arranging, staging, and prompting subjects. As well as event photography I am specializing in both classic and contemporary fine portraits of individuals, couples, children, babies, families, and high school seniors. I do headshots and also comp cards (zed cards) for models. As an accomplished portraitist, I am seeing my responsibility as turning an individual into a work of art. Each portrait is created individually, based on the personality, character and style of the person in front of my camera. I have also been doing fine art portraits on canvas. My interpretation of photographic reality through digital and traditional artistry places my portraiture in a whole new genre, a hybrid of photography and painting. I photograph the subject and then scrupulously overprint the image digitally. I also paint topically for luxuriant texture and allure. The style is similar to the paintings of Old Masters with multiple layers of paint and colors achieving a depth of light. I can make portraits of people, animals, or any subject that is precious to you. Please view some examples of my work under the "Fine Arts" category. In addition I provide photo services included freelance photography services, image restoration, photo manipulation, photo collages, custom DVD presentations with music, coffee table books, yearbooks, church directories etc. Whatever your style is I am a photographer that is dedicated to meeting your needs and providing you with pictures you will always treasure. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
