  Included Duties: photography; photo editing; audio production; recording; video directing; editing; customer service; sales."Within Nature" (Published July 27, 2009)My book is about being comfortable in the everyday; the ability to find beauty within you. All of the models came to the shoot wearing minimal make-up and bearing their naked selves to the camera. The models shot however they were most comfortable in order to capture the essence of beauty in its purest form. My vision, my point of view, comes second to the loveliness that you find within the images I captured. The contrast of the structured barn with the exposed self is a glimpse into minimized extravagances. I captured beauty that is sometimes ignored by the industry, and I hope that you find meaning within each shot.Photographed each model.Processed all photos.Designed the layout of the book."Bring 'em out" (Released February 19, 2007)Documentary about the underground rap scene in Washington D.C...
