I began doing fine art and craft photography in New York City during a renewed national awareness of American crafts and its explosive growth and I continue doing art and craft photography and workshops on Cape Cod (MA). Many people began to use craft techniques to produce one-of-a-kind pieces which were, and are today, treated as art by the marketplace. One result of this movement for me was photographing large-scale fiber art installations, clay, wood and jewelry sculptures (among other media) for artists, galleries, architects and major book publishers and magazines.
The founder of the national publication The Craft Report, Michael Scott, invited me to create and write a how-to craft photography column, which I did for the its first four years. It was called: “A Survival Course in Craft Photography,”
A special pleasure has been teaching artists and craftspeople how to photograph their own work for the past nine years in the “Making Art, Making a Living” workshop program sponsored by the Arts Foundation Of Cape Cod.
I shoot both film and digital on location or in my studio space.
