I started photography as a preteen with a Mamiya 6.9 camera, preserving historical monuments in black and white; then many years later, switched to a Nikon F5 for professional reasons. The first digital camera was my first as well, the Apple Quicktake 150. Now, I work with Nikon professional cameras, either rented or my own D700, and use Sigma pro lenses exclusively.
For years I have photographed jazz musicians in concert (Celine Bonacina, Joachim Khun, Nguyen Le, Bobby McFerrin, Avishai Cohen, Malted Milk, Boney Fields, Layla Zoe, Bob Brozman, Sandra Correia, The Do, Lee Fields & the Expression, etc…)
My first international expositions were in the mid-80s, (in several European countries and Australia), but the influence of a friend, mixed-media artist Olivier de Cayron, made me start seeing my work in a different light. I discovered that printing on aluminum gives my subjects a deeper dimension.
Prints are available in large format, permitting the viewer to immerge themselves in the image.
