This is a look at the relationships of children and their model-friends.

I create photography that visually communicates ideas and personalities. Specializing in narrative-driven portraiture and lifestyle, my images are bold and quirky with a skewed reality.
The framework of my photography draws from time spent working as a Photojournalist at The San Diego Union-Tribune, coupled with time spent studying conceptual commercial photography at the Academy of Art University, earning a Master of Fine Arts degree. The style of my images draw inspiration from Guy Bourdin, Helmut Newton, Juergen Teller and Richard Avedon (to name a few).
