MEN
These photographs were 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 setting for erotic pictures, conducive to narrative, metaphor and humor, as well as a stimulating and disinhibiting environment for models.

The men in these photos are friends and acquaintances of diverse 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 – as well as valued 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.
