I am an American freelance photographer based in Nagoya, Japan. Nagoya is the nucleus of the third largest metropolitan area in Japan and the industrial powerhouse of the nation. Centrally located, the city serves as a hub for air, rail and expressway traffic, so I have easy access to practically all of the nation.
I am a generalist, photographing a wide variety of subjects, however I most often work in the fields of architecture, portraiture, editorial illustration and the performing arts. My clients are both local and national; domestic and international.
For the international client in need of photography from Japan, I offer the advantages of being well-established in the area, fluency in the language, equipped in all traditional formats, centrally located, and mobile.
Most of my work now is done with digital SLRs, however I maintain complete systems in 35mm, 6x7 and 4x5 formats with a stock of transparency and negative films.
I have modest studio facilities with standard seamless backgrounds and 3000 w/s of electronic flash, which I am able to transport and set up on location almost anywhere in Japan. 
When necessary, I have local sources where I can rent equipment, such as additional lighting.
For the foreign photographer on assignment in Japan, I am happy to offer assistance.
In addition to taking photographs, I occasionally teach photography at various institutions in central Japan, including the Nagoya City University, School of Design and Architecture, and the Chunichi Bunka Center.
In my free time, I help organize the Foreign Artists Exhibition held every autumn at the Nagoya International Center, and also help out behind the scenes with the Nagoya Players community theatre.
