Excellent work! Your work has an honest quality about it! Real models captured beautifully! You have a keen eye and great camera work.

Why only mono? I would like to see what you do with colour.

Thank you Stuart for you kind comment. With the liberty of doing this non-commercially I have the refreshing freedom of making photographs that please myself. Doing monochrome only is a way of keeping everything very simple...in the future I might experiment with large format..but I think color is further away.

. . . I appreciate that you photograph a diverse range of body types and faces, not just the "beautiful" ones, since we are all beautiful in our own individual way. Please continue doing what you do.

very good work - compliment!

Thank you for your comment. I think I understud what you meant, and it seems realy smart. You have an fantastic gallery, great photo composition. Thanks for sharing.

I love your non-conventionsl way of photographing people. great job

To put it quite simply,I love your work and your philosophy. Yes...shooting to please yourself, and undoubtedly pleasing the people who come to work with you.

The clarity and honesty in your black and white nudes is extremely nice, as is the fact that you do not seek to glamorize your subjects or attempt to turn them into something they are not.

You are considering moving up to large format? You should do so, and the sooner the better. Wonderful used large format cameras can be purchased at incredibly low prices now. I know because I recently bought two.

With large format and your talent, you would have no trouble taking your images to a higher level.

My compliments on your beautiful work.

Best Regards, Jim

Thank you for your kind and inspiring comment. It feels real good when people see into your work....as I do not believe in pointing out anything to the viewer, it should always be explored and found.

And Jim, you are touching an essential part of my photography; the model. The people whom I photograph have my respect and my friendship in its true and classic meaning.

Time to update my comments here. I will simply say that I continue to spend hours looking at your photographs.

Again...my compliments.

Stunning portfolio with beautiful nudes.

I like your work very much :)

Excellent portfolio. I especially like the way your pictures seem to capture a natural essence, not to mention their tonal quality and composition. Look forward to seeing more in the future :)

Very nice your port
