Turning Portraits Into Books, Gallery+, Cleveland, Ohio, 2017


Thanks to Zack Hoon and Gallery+, two events supporting the new school by Nirvanavan Foundation are happening next month. Selenium-toned silver gelatin prints of the very students in the school are up for sale, as well as landscapes from India as well. 100% of the sales will go to support their education, thanks to the brilliant work of Nirvana Bodhisattva and his team. It is a way to bring art into your family and to share your family's generosity with the world!

Ballerina + Field, Santa Maria del Mar, Cuba, 2016

Working with this young dancer and her friends here in Cuba continues to inspire me, 8 years after the first images of ballerinas were made. Hope to share much more soon!
Note: This image was made with a Sony RX100III mounted next to and triggered at the same time as a Hasselblad analog system.

Young Model + Santa Maria del Mar, Cuba, Summer of 2015



These sessions are what make this island so incredible. We could photograph models in the morning on the beach, return to the city for a few hours of urban journalism then head to the countryside to photograph laborers in the fields. Even more incredible is that almost all make the time to learn about our project, and with enthusiasm give time from their days to produce such images. 

Earlier this summer we photographed this young model along with her friend, and were actually pointed her way by her companion. At first we were a little concerned even though her friend advised us of her experience in front of the lens. Our worries were laid to rest once we exposed the first roll of film, as we realized how calm and creative she truly was.


In addition, she had the most wonderful set of clothes picked out and changed between the various pieces with ease. We look forward to her presence once again next year, and will bring these images to her of course.
