One of my personal favorites. I loved the image of this beautiful voyeur looking through binoculars at…something. Manipulation was relatively sparse, consisting only of the addition of headphones and using color grading to render the night-time look. Writing the caption was another exercise in self-restraint and could’ve been another foray into short fiction, had I…
This image was done, really, out of the need to do something different. I seem to remember, at the time, feeling like I was repeating myself and wanting to work on something that was decidedly non-typical. I was very stricken with the uniqueness of this photo and took some time thinking about how this moment…
I had originally begun work with another image from this series but, as I started developing the story, I switched mid-stream to this photo. This, in turn, led to altering the story to reflect the direct encounter depicted; originally, the subject was only going to communicate with the hypnotist via phone. This is one of…
Without a doubt, the most difficult non-animated manip I’ve ever tackled. Not because the technical execution was all that challenging but simply because of the fact that I searched for nearly a year and looked through, literally, five thousand or more photos to find the image I needed of the two ladies’ legs and feet…
At the time, I had been very keen to do a piece featuring a mirror, I just hadn’t yet found the right material. When I came across this image, I knew I had found my source pic. It took a bit more cogitation to figure out the story and how the effects would work towards…
This is one of the earliest images I collected for the purpose of manipping. The hypnotist model was originally holding a set of jaw-wideners that, when you squinted, looked very much like the outline of skiing goggles. I came back to it years later when I knew I could pull off, technically, the image I…
One of my more ambitious undertakings, at the time. The hypnotist was originally standing with her back to camera and looking out the window. Her pose here is taken from another photo in the series. The subject was found after a long search of images that had similar enough camera angles and dropped into the…

When writing the caption for this image, I had a much larger story in mind that, ultimately, I could only hint at. The tale of this succubus that befriended, then seduced, then corrupted a holy-man’s daughter didn’t get fleshed out as much as I had hoped, but I think I was able to hint at…
