My work is in the collection of the museum of Fine Arts in Houston and the CPW collection at the Samuel Dorskey Museum, New Paltz, NY. Commercially, I specialize in commissioned boudoir and pin-up portraiture. I also shoot the occasional fabulous (and only fabulous mind you!) wedding. My work has been featured on NBC news, New York City Taxi TV and I have been featured in an interview about photographing pin-up for an article in 'Elle', Brazil. I seek to express human beauty in all of its diversity in order to help break down our cultures narrowly defined views of of what that means. website: www.forthemorforyou.com email: isisimages@yahoo.com |

Your people want to make a statue in your honor. What will it be made out of and what victory will it commemorate?
The statue would be in the image of a Goddess... something like the Venus of Willendorf... it will commemorate a change in attitudes towards women's bodies and the way that they are perceived in the media. For one by one, I will have photographed women across the planet and made them all feel like the Goddesses that they are... RIGHT NOW :-)
