The artistic challenge I set for myself was to defy the conventions of "cheesecake" and prurience, two ends of the glamour spectrum, and create simple visions of beautiful women that capture their seductive auras as I perceive them.

This has never been easy for me. Most reluctantly, I have had to transcend my passion for standard photography and embrace the infinite possibilities of the digital experience. After uncounted hours working with sophisticated software and willing, beautiful women, whose curiosity about the posing experience matches my search for the ultimate expression of each one’s unique beauty, I find myself enmeshed in the ricorso of trial and error, the deliberative refining of my vision and the mastery of my tools.

This vision quest, this transformative journey I travel, now delights me. I hope others who adore the female form are delighted, as well.
