Broadway Bares is an annual burlesque show fundraiser created in 1992 by legendary choreographer Jerry Mitchell as an entertaining way to raise awareness and money for those living with HIV/AIDS. The 29 editions of Broadway Bares have collectively raised more than 21.2 million dollars for Broadway Cares/Equity Fights Aids. I have been collaborating with SpotCo Design and BCEFA on the promotional campaign for Broadway Bares every year since 2002.

Oscars In 2016, ABC asked me to photograph Chris Rock, host of the Academy Awards that year. Soon after The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences invited me to set up a portrait studio at the actual event and photograph the winners when they came off stage. The Academy also entrusted me with photographing the Nominees at luncheons in 2017, 2018, and 2019 along with creating group portraits of the Broad of Governors those same years.

Ailey in Africa In 2015 I was invited to accompany The Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater on their historic return to South Africa for the first time since 1998. I photographed and filmed the company for 3 weeks while they rehearsed, performed, and engaged in community outreach. Featured here are personal sessions I produced with some of the companies elite dancers on location with and without African animals near Johannesburg and Cape Town. Below the gallery is a 7 minute film of me and the dancers collaborating on these photos.

Nordic I met my now wife Meryl in the summer of 2011. She had booked a trip to Iceland in November of that same year for her Birthday and I essentially invited myself to come along. It was there that we both fell in love with the barren Nordic landscape and more importantly with each other. Iceland is quite simply the most beautiful place I have ever been. It’s black volcanic lava covered in bright green moss and its Arctic white snowy Tundra created the perfect backdrop for what was our official first date. We returned to Iceland in 2013, visited equally stunning Norway in 2015, and were married in Malibu, California in 2019.

New York Rangers I grew up in Toronto Canada and began playing ice hockey at age 6. I love the sport now as much as I did then and still play at least once a week. In 1999 ESPN Magazine sent me to the New York Rangers practice facility to photograph newly traded Theo Fleury. By the time I was done my agent had worked out a deal with Rangers public relations representative to shoot the team’s Yearbook photos. I’ve been photographing them annually ever since.

Sky Like all photographers I’m obsessed with light but also with where it comes from which is usually the sky. I’m also drawn to distant horizons and people-less landscapes. Over the years I’ve often looked up or down (depending on whether I’m in a plane or not:) at the ever changing cloud formations and found it to be an endless source of inspiration both visually and spiritually. A few years ago I started going through these pictures and realized there’s quite a nice collection of painterly images here.
