Dealers came and smashed the place up in front of me: this is the aftermath. A lucky escape: we could have been killed I almost always shoot alone, in order to keep paying the bills. But I call on other photographers, make-up artists, model coaches, as needed. I try to shoot simple. I use simple speedlights when able, rather than strobes. One bounced speedlight is all I use, very often. I love Honl Photo modifiers, they have unlocked a lot for me. I taught a flash workshop with Dave Honl in Phoenix in March: you can do so much with simple means! Travel was my early focus, but only because it was where I was. Portraits is a recent development. I shoot nudes also. But amazingly, simple portraits of the type many photographers scoff at give me pleasure.
