I started photographing for the AP in Chicago in 1984.26 years of work as a photographer has taken me to 53 countries.
I also was employed by Channel 4, Telemundo and The Hillary Rodham Clinton Foundation in the USA.I was a Press photographer for The Chicago Immigration and Naturalisation Office and The Christian Children's Fund in Haiti.
I started at Agency Sygma in Paris and Agency Gamma in 2000 in Paris and I was a staff photographer for Corbis in London.
There is a very small portion of my work here.I am building a new website finally.Not finished yet, slowly working on it.

My photographic inspirations are first and foremost Robert Capa " If your pictures aren't good enough, you're not close enough".Twins Peter and David Turnley, Luc Delahaye, Don McCullen, loved Bang Bang Club, Susan Meiselas, Heidi Bradner who did a great job covering Chechnya and Mary Ellen Mark.Favorite female camera woman, Margaret Gipsy Moth who covered Bosnia fearlessly.
I really enjoy working independently and choosing assignments now as a photographer.Working on several photography books, 2 shows coming up in Athens and Hong Kong at the moment.Enjoy documentary film-making and blogging.Available for assignments please email me.
