USA Nominee Nude Professional "Maria Emerging From Tree" The Forests of California are a place i gravitate to when i want to get out of NYC and connect with the natural world in a meaningful way. "Maria Emerging From Tree" conveys the feeling of renewing my spirit when i'm there. I was born and raised in NYC and still live here. Growing up I leaned towards creativity rather than sports or traditional academia. I developed a passion for photography in college and its only gotten stronger since then. After graduating with a BFA in Photography from SUNY New Paltz in 1991 I started building a more commercial portfolio. I apply that artist’s eye to everything I see and photograph. I specialize in photographing people and my work is licensed world wide by Getty Images for everything from small town editorials to national advertisements. More recently I have been returning to my original fine art influences and motives for being a photographer in the first place. “The Rooms” is an ongoing project I hope will be be my entry into the fine art realm. When I can, I try to get out of NYC and into nature to unwind and slow down. Images nominated for this year’s Spider Awards are from a recent trip to California. Hopefully I’ll get back there soon! |
