Did you always want to be photographer? / How did you get started?
I was working as a fashion stylist/ designer/wardrobe person for about 15 years.. I had/have worked with all the biggies – photographers – Herb Ritts, George Hurrell, and Joel-Peter Witkin. After working in fashion industry for 15 years, I had no interest to work with clothing ever again. Clothing styles change with the season,the nude figure is timeless.
Somewhat encouraged by Joel-Peter Witkin, I started to experiment with my own photography. Initially, I thought I would be a fashion photographer, but my initial images appeared harsh. They had a docudrama style that I was initially taken aback, but then embraced.
