 I
have been working with the human form in photography for more than
20 years. I have worked in the glamour and fashion industry, but
found the work unsatisfying. Although I still do some color work, I
have returned to my great love in photography, Black and White Fine
Art.
I
originally studied in California under George Craven, photographer
and writer of "Object and Image" and Shirley Fisher, the
noted fine art photographer who worked with Weston.
