about

I can keep it to the factual:
I’m a photographer based in northern New Jersey, specializing in weddings, but I also photograph portraits and boudoir. You can see my work on my wedding photography blog.

I also maintain a very active website for photographers. I teach workshops and seminars on photography. I have written three books on flash photography, of which two have been translated into Polish, Portuguese and Chinese. This probably means I can describe myself now as being ‘internationally renowned’. I’ll take it. It sounds good.

What drives me as a photographer:
That I love photography for a variety of reasons. The stimulation and excitement of responding to new situations satisfies both my analytical and creative sides, and I also truly love working with people.

I get real pleasure from sharing the happiness with the people that I photograph, and knowing that I’m creating images that will evoke wonderful memories for a lifetime. (By the way, this is the most plagiarized paragraph from my bio. Seriously.)

My interests:
The obvious answer here would be, Photography. That’s something I am serious about, yet try to have fun with. My other interests – I am a movie nut. I love movies. A widescreen TV and surround sound and a blu-ray player. Sounds like heaven already. I also live my life to a music soundtrack. I used to play saxophone in a band back in South Africa. I love music. But I am a better photographer than I would have been a musician.

And there you have it. This is me.

Drop me a note if you want me as your photographer, or want more info about my work and photography services.

I’d love to hear from you.
