SFX, Custom Makeup and BodyPaint
For every hour of Photography, four to seven hours of makeup and preparation are required.

Working on TV, Movies, Events and Still photography my art is one of my great passions. Our clients have been as varied as Zombies for Sony Pictures to Children in School Plays. For over 15 years the Signature Mark of my work has been the depths and pain my team, models, and I will go to to make an image or effect work.

The 12 photos below each required no less then seven, and as many as 10, hours of hand painted makeup.  Each meticulously created by hand and taking hours of detailed labor. Each custom costume and pure physical effects, body paint and real world props. Every color and effect a product of makeup, labor and love of art, not imagery enhancement. 


 
Video: Production, Direction & Filming
While Still Images and special effects are where my roots lie I have always had an very strong attachment to the creation of video and independent film. Working on Legal Video by day, preparing Settlement Conference Videos, doing location scouting and recreations and editing courtroom presentation may pay the bills, it is the creative side of video that keeps the excitement level up.

Costume Design & Construction
A Perfect Model, Fantastic setting and great makeup can only make the perfect photo if you add the proper costume and clothing. While store-bought costumes/clothing can produce reasonable effects the only way to create truly unique imagery is to photograph truly unique costumes. For the past 15 years I have custom designed, sewn, and created majority of the costumes shown and in our photos. Some complex, some simplistic, but all uniquely adding to the beauty and surreal quality of the work

 
Graphic Art & Design
The art of graphic art is like the art of lighting for photography, its it best displayed when it is unnoticed. While many of my works are centered around the use of graphic arts, custom photo-manipulation techniques and color and background enhancement I find the images I like best are the ones where the use of the technique is lost in the overall composition of the photo. To achieve most of my effects I utilize, beyond custom photographic & lighting techniques, simple Photoshop functions and tools
