Biography

|
My artistic interests began with B&W photography around the age of 11. My older brother Michael was at around that time attending the School of Visual Arts in NYC for photography and would often use as a model and assitant for many of his assigments. It wasn't long before I was shooting on my own, developing my own film, and printing in the dark room. As I improved, I was seriously considering making it my career by my junior year in high school after attending a field trip to Pratt Institute. I was so relieved and elated to see that a lot of the photograohy student's work on display there was actually somewhat mediocre. I guess I was just expecting to see such superior work and ended up just being encouraged that my work was just as good for a high school student. But as it turned out, I didn't pursue photography as a career though I did keep somewhat busy doing freelance projects. Then in the mid 9o's, I took a job managing a photo studio. This was great because it gave me a steady paycheck while enabling to make contacts and get a fair amount of side freelance work. But everything changed when we started doing digital retouching. I started learning Photoshop and just fell in love with it. It was essentially an entire darkroom at your fingertips. I worked on mainly retouching headshots.
