Excerpts From Article:
DURATION: I started shooting while I was freelancing as an art director at Team One. I couldn't find the imagery I wanted, so I shot it. That led to my first assignment: shooting for Ritz-Carlton in Vietnam. That was 2005.
STAFF: Having been an advertising creative on hundreds of commercials during my 15-plus years in the business, I know how important it is to surround yourself with a great crew. And I have a fantastic crew that I work with, starting with my producer-extraordinaire, Cathy Wilson, who makes it all happen and keeps it running smoothly.
CULTURAL INFLUENCES: I have many influences, but if there is one person who is greatly influencing me right now at this moment in time it would be Irving Penn. I want to be just like him when I grow up. That is, I want to be able to photograph anything and transform it into art - like he did. And I want to get better with age and be shooting when I'm in my 90's - just like he did. Irving Penn was a god.
