Hi!

I was a professional portrait photographer for ELLE magazine in France. Now, I do it in my spare time. I'm based between Southern California and the Algarve.

My goal is simple: most people have an incredible amount of beauty in them. I want to reveal it, as naturally as possible. You won't find a heavy mask of makeup on my subjects, because I don't believe hiding someone behind powdery paint brings out who they truly are.

My studio holds a collection of clothing spanning 1880 to 1970. I don't use it to recreate a particular era. I use it to keep fashion out of the picture entirely. Fashion is ephemeral, while a good portrait should still look beautiful to your great grandchildren ninety years from now.

I never bill my non-corporate clients. If my work speaks to you, get in touch and let's talk about a shoot.
