  • Prize
    Honorable Mention

I’m a portrait photographer based in Staten Island,NY. I focus mostly on tattooed people and female tattoo artists, I started back in the early/mid 90s while working for an Italian tattoo magazine. My early work was mostly on the road, shot in tattoo conventions. Mostly analog, taken with a Nikon 35mm, mostly slides. I cherish these images and they represent the world of international tattooing, right before the internet and digital photography became widespread.
