9.List of where your work has been shown:

I don't do many shows although I've shown in Hollywood, and New York though companies that have had openings and I've sold pieces at these events/art shows. Mainly web and magazine based, which is also on my site.

10.What is your "style" of photography?
I enjoy photographing fashion, I'm inspired by clothing, objects and how light interacts everything I get infront of my lens. Although at the end of the day I would shoot models, I think there's something so interesting about a girl that comes on a shoot with a clear head and looks like a blank canvas. Everything else comes with baggage, or specific angles they're suppose to be shot. Interesting models are completely weird and pliable to the clothing or situations you throw them in. It's way more fun.
