I photograph people in their most natural, unguarded moments. Using natural light and minimal direction, I capture an honest blend of beauty, intimacy, and vulnerability. My work reveals the human presence behind the image—simple, direct, and real.

For more than three decades, I have photographed models, performers, and cultural icons not as distant figures of glamour, but as people—present, alive, and disarmed in their own authenticity.

Early in my career, I moved away from the highly scripted aesthetics of traditional fashion photography.
Instead, I chose to photograph my subjects in their personal spaces—at home, at ease, and unguarded. This documentary-inspired method allows vulnerability and confidence to coexist. The viewer meets the person, not the pose.
My images celebrate femininity, sensuality, and individuality without artifice. I strive to create photographs that feel honest, spontaneous, and human. Light becomes a collaborator, not a tool to perfect or conceal. The camera becomes a witness, not a barrier.
Ultimately, my work is about connection. Each portrait is a moment of trust—an invitation to see beauty not as a performance, but as a lived, intimate truth.
Through simplicity, I aim to uncover depth. Through vulnerability, I aim to reveal strength. And through the quiet space between subject and photographer, I aim to capture the essence of who someone is when the world is not watching.
