MEN
These photographs were all taken in my apartment, a rambling, rent-stabilized Chelsea walk-up, with a large eat-in kitchen.  Some years ago, I discovered its utility as a stage for this work – a setting conducive to narrative, metaphor and even humor, as well as a stimulating and disinhibiting environment for the models.

The men are friends and acquaintances of diverse and distinguished professional backgrounds.  My method is collaborative and improvisational.  My style is casual, intimate and painterly, which entails the use of low light and fast film.

I create these photographs as evidence of particular erotically charged events, rather than artifacts crafted with an audience in mind.  Yet, they have proven to be eminently audience worthy - and much appreciated by the models I work with.


All photographs above are toned black-and-white, archival silver gelatin prints, available in limited editions of 17, in dimensions of 8”x10” and 11”x14”. 
Prices provided upon request.
