Artist Statement:

My images are often shot on location in dramatic natural settings, usually near a body of water: a river, ocean or a lake. Others are taken in ancient monuments: cathedrals, mosques, Egyptian temples or Venician Palazzos The nudes are mostly done in the studio, with bold dramatic lighting. Images are then combined in the darkroom or digitally, to create my original surrealistic visions.
