I bring my classical education in art from the Sorbonne, coupled with 18 years experience as a professional photographer (see: Bio) to bear on every picture I take.  When I look through the lens, I'm looking for a composition that will communicate the message the client wants to convey, coupled with a high degree of aesthetic appeal that will make viewer want to spend time with the image and form a warm emotional connection with the subject and, by extension, the client.
