FAQs

1.) What advice would you give to photographers? ​​

Stop following the so-called rules of photography. Ignore the exposure triangle. Instead, focus on lighting, subject, and composition.  You also don't need a new camera. The camera you're currently holding is just fine... even in a war zone. 

2.) Who or what is your creative inspiration? 

That would be the orgyastic love child of Andy Kaufman, John Malkovich, Carol Kane, David Bowie, Patti Smith, and Skin from the band Skunk Anansie. 

3.) What is your creative workflow? 

Coffee, cameras, rock n' roll in that order, on repeat, 6am - 3am every day of the week. 


4.) How would you describe yourself? 

I make pictures, hang 'em in galleries, and bleed in front of strangers. 

5.) What's in your camera bag? 

A pistol.
