Freelance Photographer & Artist Information

I am a Parsons School of Design graduate with a BFA in Photography. I do Photography and Fine Art Paintings and Drawings, from life and photographs. I am a Photographer/Artist with over 30 years of material to draw from (pardon the pun). Before I became a photographer, I painted in oil figures, landscapes and still-lifes in the manner of Realism. I am an excellent draughtsman, as well. My painting influences are John Singer Sargent, Winslow Homer and Rembrandt. I make large paintings out of some of my best photographs that lend them selves to being depicted on canvas in oils. These are one of a kind photos that are the sole property of me - the originating photographer, and thus are exclusively mine for rendering into canvas paintings. Aside from a very interesting biography, I have been a prolific photographer, and plan to be a prolific painter. I have actual paintings to show as examples, and - of coarse, myriad photographs that are aesthetically compelling as photos, but will be highly desirable as oil paintings. Subjects include marvelous, soulful portraits and street photographs - REPORTAGE, in the manner of Henri Cartier-Bresson, the master photographer of the "decisive moment."
