      Although I have been behind a camera since my free wheeling high school days in Bangkok Thailand in the early 90s, it was not until 2005 in which I decided to incorporate the business, and become. well you know legally legit. As with any small business owner, I pretty much run the whole show from scheduling to retouching, although I have been keen enough to keep my hands out of the accounting, which for me is a great labyrinth of obfuscation and devious traps. My hats off to all who successfully navigate those seemingly dark corridors. One of my founding principles was that I wanted to produce the best work I could, within the confines of my own perception regardless of what I was being paid, with all the work being done in-house. This totally goes against the standard business ethos, but that against the grain concept helped me control the final output, keeping standards sky high and outputting a killer portfolio early on in my career when the budgets were anything but extravagant. I have modified that a bit over the years, but still work to my own high standards creating images that I love, and with any luck my clients will love as well.
