Being so left-brained by training, I owe a lot to my mentors, whom I must thank wholeheartedly. D. Brian Nelson, Marko Cecic-Karuzic, Richard Goldstein, who help me learn to see and to be more fearless, and Thorsten Ott who taught me the commercial side of things.
At this time, my favorite photographers include Mario Testino, Sante D’Orazio, Horst Diekgerdes, Ellen Von Unwerth, Mario Sorrenti and Terry Richardson.
