I am a self-taught photographer with no formal training in art.
My inspiration comes from the world around me every day. I am inspired by much of Ansel Adams work as well as Brett Weston’s images. Nature and Wildlife are my main focus but I also shoot artistic nudes and assist models in assembling their portfolios.
I shoot Nikon exclusively and now shoot three models - D100 / D1X & D2X.
I work freelance for several magazines.
I spend most of my time in my pirogue in the deep reaches of one of many swamps in the Sportsman's Paradise region of Louisiana. The connection of the land and water fascinates me and I explore the awesome opportunities the swamps and wetlands offer. The unique emotions the environment offers are harsh but very inviting and hold ones interest at every turn.
My trips often consist of several days and nights traveling and shooting. The reasons for this are that I am somewhat of a "light chaser" and to get the lighting I want from mother nature you have to be on her time, some of the images in my collections came from areas that very few people travel!
I have a pirogue that I made and set up for these ventures, I have a deep cycle marine battery that allows me to re-charge my camera and laptop batteries. I shoot large format RAW NEF most of the time and edit in Photoshop CS2.
Please leave any comments you may have concerning my work, I value constructive critique... |
