A study of the female form, photographed in 1990. Light and shadow divide the composition almost geometrically, transforming the body into line, volume, texture, and tonal contrast.

Tibet, 1980s
Two Tibetan monks during the intimate ritual of shaving the head at a monastery in Tibet. One monk carefully works while the younger monk sits patiently beneath his hand, capturing an unguarded moment of everyday monastic life.
Made during my travels through Tibet in the 1980s, the photograph belongs to my long-term documentation of Tibetan culture and Buddhist traditions. Beyond ceremony and religious symbolism, I was interested in the ordinary gestures of daily life—the moments of concentration, companionship, and humanity that exist within the monastery.

Nude #12
A study of the female form, photographed in 1990. Seen horizontally and at close range, the body becomes almost a landscape—a composition of curves, light, shadow, and subtle tonal transitions.
By removing the figure from any surrounding context, the photograph moves between representation and abstraction. The body remains immediately recognizable, yet the composition is concerned as much with form, rhythm, and the sculptural quality of light as with the figure itself.
This is a vintage silver gelatin print, photographed and printed by me in 1990. It is one of only two prints in the edition and has been preserved in perfect condition for more than three decades.

Paris, France, 1990s

The Fine Art Print
For me, a photograph is not complete until it becomes a physical print. The choice of process, paper, tonal interpretation, surface, and scale is integral to the finished work.
I personally make my prints or closely supervise their production. I do not consider the print simply a reproduction of an image. The print is the photograph.
Gelatin Silver Print
My traditional black-and-white photographs are printed by hand in the darkroom as gelatin silver prints on fiber-based photographic paper. Selected prints are selenium toned when appropriate to the image, both for their tonal qualities and enhanced permanence.
Platinum/Palladium Print
Selected photographs are produced as platinum/palladium prints using the traditional hand-coated process. The image is formed within the fibers of the paper, producing an exceptionally broad tonal range, subtle gradation, distinctive matte surface, and remarkable permanence.
Archival Pigment Print
My color photographs are produced as archival pigment inkjet prints using professional pigment inks on selected Hahnemühle fine-art papers. Paper and surface are chosen according to the color, tonal character, and physical qualities of each photograph. The combination of pigment inks and museum-quality papers provides excellent color stability, tonal fidelity, and long-term permanence.
Piezography Carbon Print
Selected black-and-white photographs are produced using Piezography Carbon, a specialized monochrome printing process employing multiple gradated shades of carbon pigment ink. The process provides exceptionally smooth tonal transitions, extensive shadow and highlight separation, rich blacks, and a distinctive depth and presence.
The carbon pigment used in this process offers exceptional resistance to fading and outstanding longevity, making Piezography Carbon particularly suited to fine-art photographs intended for long-term preservation.
Chromogenic Print
Selected color photographs are also available as chromogenic photographic prints on Fujicolor Crystal Archive material. In this photographic color process, the image is formed by dyes within the light-sensitive photographic material, producing continuous-tone color with the characteristic surface and appearance of a traditional photographic print.
