HELP HAITI NOW In an effort to raise money for Haiti, I am printing a limited, special edition of my portrait of Danish director, journalist, poet, and friend, Jørgen Leth , photographed in Jacmel, Haiti in 2002. Mr. Leth has lived in Haiti for the last 20 years and has a profound relationship to the ill-fated country. His old house in Jacmel collapsed and was completely destroyed by the quake. He made it out alive by chance, but has lost everything. He is now in the Dominican Republic and it is with his blessing I am conducting this fine art sale.

These C-type Prints measures 20 x 24 inches (50 x 60 cm). Each print costs USD 250,00 including international shipping. The complete revenue will be donated to the organization Hope For Haiti Now.

Recent Works 1 As a part of a current project I am doing in Brazil, I've been photographing people and places from all over the country. Here are two recent landscapes that I've made from Rio de Janeiro. The first is from Rocinha, the largest favela in Brazil. It has an estimated population of 60.000 to 150.000 and is built on a steep hillside overlooking the city, just one kilometer from the beach. The second images, I guess, speaks for itself.

Both images are available for ordering as Large Format C-type Prints in the new online shop.

Recent Works 2 I recently did a series of portraits from São Paulo Fashion Week. See these images and other recent works on the new website.
