Whether you’re interested in collaborating on an artistic project or commissioning a personal shoot, my work is built around comfort, trust, atmosphere, and creating images that feel emotionally honest and alive.
Most of the people I photograph are not professional models. I pride myself on making sure every subject feels prepared before the shoot, confident during the shoot, and happy with the results afterward.
Creative Collaborations
I regularly collaborate with people all over Southern California on editorial, lifestyle, intimate, and fine art photography projects that expand my portfolio and creative work.
These shoots are ideal for people who are interested in creating something expressive, atmospheric, sensual, emotionally honest, or visually unconventional. Whether they’ve modeled before or not, many collaborators simply feel drawn to the experience, aesthetic, or opportunity to explore a different side of themselves creatively.
Collaboration projects may involve:
- Intimate portraiture
- Alternative or subculture-inspired concepts
- Natural-light lifestyle photography
- Artistic nudity
- Experimental black-and-white imagery
- Sensual or emotionally driven storytelling
Selected collaborations may also be featured in Stay Awhile, an ongoing series highlighting the people, atmosphere, and stories behind the work.
No modeling experience is required. Clear communication, mutual comfort, and collaboration are always part of the process.
Personal Commissions
I also offer commissioned photography sessions tailored to the individual, couple, or creative concept.
Commissioned shoots are more client-led while still maintaining the candid, cinematic, emotionally grounded style that defines my work. Sessions can range from relaxed portraiture and branding work to intimate photography, couples sessions, or artistic nude imagery.
Available commissions include:
- Lifestyle & editorial portraits
- Intimate portraiture
- Couples photography
- Creative branding imagery
- Artistic nude photography
- Fine art portraiture
I do not offer:
- Corporate headshots
- Wedding photography
- Cookie-cutter studio sessions
- Heavy retouching or artificial “perfection”
Each commissioned project is quoted individually based on concept, location, scope, and deliverables.
What Shoots are Like
Most sessions begin casually. Conversation, music, exploring the environment, settling into the moment. Some sessions are quiet and reflective; others are playful, flirtatious, spontaneous, or emotionally raw.
My goal is never to force a performance, but to create an environment where people feel comfortable enough to become expressive, relaxed, confident, and fully present in front of the camera.
Whether someone arrives experienced or completely new to being photographed, part of the process is building trust and creating images that feel lived-in, cinematic, and emotionally real.
