How long have you been shooting? I've been shooting since I was little, and in art school I was doing photorealistic painting and used the camera a lot. I've been a professional photographer for about four years.
Camera of choice: Canon 5D Mark II.
Favorite subject to shoot? I'd say it varies...but my favorite is probably capturing strong, drop-dead-gorgeous women in moments of mischief.
Influences: Helmut Newton, Guy Bourdin, Miles Aldridge, Cindy Sherman...there are many.
Why photography? I've done many things from painting to running clubs in NYC to modeling and traveling the world. Finding the camera has finally brought me home.
