Please join me in my art journey

Some of you have followed my work for a few years, and know all the commercial photography assignments I have been doing. Over the past 15 years I have been blessed to see hundreds of my images published in print magazines and catalogs around the world, including magazine covers in countries as diverse as US, UK, Australia, Russia and more.

When shooting with models for my commercial assignments they always seem to gravitate to the art prints hanging on my walls. I decorate my studios with framed photos from my “The Body as Temple” art nude series. Many of the models express an interest in being a part of that series.

So we shoot nudes, but what to do with the images? I have had some art shows, and published some calendars, cards and lithographs, but for the most part they have had limited exposure. I would love to publish a book, but I don’t have the budget for that yet. (If you and your friends help me get to 1K patrons I promise to publish a Body as Temple book!)

I discovered Instagram a couple of years ago. It was very rewarding to share my work with a wide audience, and to receive heartwarming feedback. But IG does not like nudity. My nudes are tasteful nudes, but nudes nonetheless. On IG I have had to censor all my images.

Then a friend suggested Patreon. So here I am.

I am excited to share photos of this model, Betcee, and hundreds of other images from my extensive archives with you. With your support I will also be doing brand new shoots to feature here in the days to come.
