I met Crimson when she responded to an ad I had placed in the local paper seeking a model for my photography series, Provocative Portraits. This series came to be when I was working on my MFA at Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT). When I opened my photography studio in Oakland, I wanted to revisit this series as I’ve always enjoyed capturing movement on film. To capture Crimson dancing on film was inspirational.
From the moment she walked in my door, we have journeyed together to cultivate our respective artistic pursuits, as well as our combined professional endeavors. Through it all, Crimson has been my muse.
I am delighted to present select works of this series featuring Crimson for our joint exhibition, Beauty & The Beasties, at Sierra Arts Gallery in Reno for the month of April.
