In 2000, Jeff left behind a rigorous 7-year law career to enjoy his waking hours. He took his darkroom equipment out of the attic and set it up for the first time since high school. He then set up a studio and started looking for nude models.

"I have always been enamored of the human form. Having been a gymnast from the age of 8 through college, I was constantly surrounded by beautiful, muscular male and female bodies. In addition to practicing a supremely challenging sport, participating in the world of gymnastics allowed me to witness the splendor of the human form as it performed feats of strength, balance, flexibility and grace on a near daily basis. In my book, inspiration doesn’t get much better than that!"

"In my photography I try to capture the simple and pure beauty of the human form.

I attempt to use just enough light to reveal the beauty of a model’s form and thereby create enough shadow to leave some mystery. I am often drawn to details like a bicep or a wisp of hair and I marvel at how light can bring out the strength or softness of a particular body or body part."

"Lately I have been shooting a lot of couples. Seeing the chemistry between two people puts a smile on my face and inspiration in my mind. I find it extremely invigorating to attempt to capture the heat, affection, passion, lust, emotion, etc. that a couple can generate. I love my work!"

Jeff started exhibiting his photography at the LA Pride festival in June 2002. Since then he has been exhibiting all over California almost non-stop. His photography was featured in the portfolio section of the November/December 2002 issue of [2] Magazine. Recently, one of Jeff’s prints was chosen to become a part of the permanent collection of the Tom of Finland Foundation.

In Italy, Jeff is represented by Cristiano Merra at the Museo Gilardi in Forte dei Marmi (www.museogilardi.it ). You can also see Jeff’s work at:
