Deciding early that the world around him looked most interesting through a camera's viewfinder, Jeff has been taking photographs almost as long as he can remember.

Armed with various cameras and a desire to explore the side of his subjects less seen by the world at large, Jeff has turned his energies in the past several years to creating expressive portraits.  Unlike some portrait photographers, Jeff's goal is never to try and sum up the personalities of his subjects in a single image.  Instead, he views his photographs as imperfect reflections as likely to show his subjects as they can be, than as they or the world have decided they really "are".

A great portrait is the result of a true collaboration between photographer and subject.

For Jeff, the portrait setting�wherever it occurs�is less about a photographer "taking" a photograph as it is about "making" one, with the active involvement and participation of his subjects.

Jeff lives and works in the Seattle area, enjoying all the diversity of his surroundings.  His subjects are men, women and couples of every size, shape, age and persuasion.
