As you can see, my work is about the male form. But I'm also interested in the unique spark of an individual, the energy they bring to the table. My goal is to capture a portrait of a person, while also celebrating their beauty -- and my definition of beauty is broad.

It's a careful balance, but if I can arouse all of those good feelings that come from looking at a beautiful specimen of a man -- appreciation, titillation, desire -- and also make you want to know more about the individual himself, then I've captured a good image.

It's easier to show than explain, and I'm always in search of people to help me achieve it.
