ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS:

Thanks to my friends for all your encouragement, and especially to Dave & Jen for helping get this website up.

Thanks to my clients and patrons for your support . . . and good taste!

I especially want to express my sincere thanks to each and every one of my models, not just for sharing your time and special beauty, but also for your courage, your creativity, your patience, your inspiration, and for honoring me with your trust. I hope you are always proud of the work we've done together.

FAQ's (frequently asked questions)

How do you make your photographs look like paintings?
Magic . . . and a magician never reveals his secrets.

Who are your influences?
At the top of my list are Leonardo da Vinci, John Waterhouse, Maxfield Parrish, Vargas, and Rolf Armstrong.

What equipment do you use?
Canon Digital SLR's with some nice lenses (usually the 28-70 2.8 L), Photoflex softbox lighting, and an Apple computer.

Who are your models?
The beauties you see on this web site come from all walks of life. Some are professional models, but most are just friends, acquaintances, and others whom I've met via emails. A few are customers who have graciously given me permission to use their photos. (Please note that I would only display pictures if the person has given me written consent.)

Where are you located?
I have a private studio in Dallas, Texas, near White Rock Lake.

Why haven't you responded to my email?
I usually answer all emails within 24 hours. But all kinds of things can happen to emails. If you haven't heard back from me, I suggest you try again and include your phone number.

Why do you call your site 'pagan' portraits, are you in some strange religion?
It has nothing to do with religion. The word 'pagan' refers to subjects depicted in Greek and Roman Renaissance art and ancient myths, the timeless essence of which I try to infuse into my work.

Why do you specialize in female portraits?
It's never boring. As the saying goes: To be successful, do what you love.

It is a unique and exquisite pleasure to create a work of beauty with another human being.
