Chasing LightWelcome. This is where I share my work and also the work of others, those that inspire me, the weird, the great, the unusual.
It is a goddamn marvel this life. Take a look.
Belgrade | Tijana, Buckethead
I was shooting Tijana in Belgrade, a beautiful model, but things weren’t clicking, there was no rhythm happening.
Los Angeles | Cheryl I
When shooting a model in her apartment in downtown LA and she says she has pleather pants and a red corset and asks if she should try those on, you should say yes, please.
Tondo, Manila | Why I Shoot in Slums
When I travel, I am drawn to the poor areas, those people on the fringe, the disenfranchised. And beautiful women. A weird contrast, I know, but there has never been an agenda. I just go where my feet lead me and to what attracts me.
I do shoot the underprivileged a lot and I find myself questioning this periodically.
Saint Petersburg | Vi, Standing, Camisole IV
Nolita | Lovely Day
Moscow | Galina I
Galina was a Playboy model in Russia that I coordinated with and booked through a model directory.
As the owner of a photo studio rental in Saint Petersburg told me, Russia is filled with beautiful women who want their photo taken.
Indeed.
New York | The Feast of San Gennaro
Saint Petersburg | Vi III
Buenos Aires | La Boca
Spent an afternoon in the La Boca barrio of Buenos Aires.
As always on a wander, you turn the corner, you never know what you fill stumble upon.
Hollywood | Virginia & Erin
I was in a workshop with a photographer and she was flipping through my portfolio and when she came across this photo, she said:
Pretty girls doing yucky things.
She pulled it aside as a select.
Flatiron | Alex on 23rd
One of my favorite images.
Brooklyn | Anika
Anika is letting her gray hair show and good lord, I am happy for it
Kyiv | Katja
I don’t know how to lie with my camera.
Los Angeles | Sonic Youth
Lucky enough to have shot Sonic Youth for the Sunset Junction festival in LA in 2002
Saint Petersburg | RedFox, Bathroom
Saint Petersburg | Vi, Window II
Chiang Rai | Palong Hill Tribe
SoHo | Catarina, Soho House
Delhi | The Family Living in the Tree
I was walking through the chaotic streets and met a family living in a tree on a tiny strip of grass in the middle of a busy intersection.
I was on my way to a big slum to spend the day shooting and spent a few minutes with theses people, beautiful and generous and shy.
