i have been studying the art of david lachapelle for many years now.  and if i could have any career in the world, it would be a lot like his.  not that i want to photograph tons and tons of celebrities, but i am more interested in capturing images that define people through their existence.

over the next six weeks, i will be undertaking an ambitious project.  i am attempting to obtain 10 individuals for ten different photographs.  stylistically, these photos are open ended.  i want each individual to express their existence in a single shot.  i want there to be a narrative that can either be happy or have more of a dark side.  i want each person to imagine that, should the die tomorrow, this photograph would collectively define their lives up until now.  i really want to work collaboratively with each person to ensure that my creative voice balances out with theirs.

if you think you have what i'm looking for, i'd love to shoot you.  but be warned, you will need to release your insecurities and dig deep into your emotions.  this will be your photograph, just as much as it is mine.
