A good friend of mine Lisa Gallo is only 5 days away form the end of her kickstarter campaign to fund her independent film Infreschi.

Through some kind of magic she will be filming in Italy in what looks likes one of the most beautiful places on earth. I wonder what level of backer gets me flown out there….

Lisa’s films always play with an interesting balance of the real and unreal. The playful and the erotic. The lighthearted moments of life and the darker.

If you’re into indie films and supporting a very cool artists, head over to her kickstarted and show her some love. You’ll be glad you did.

Hi! Do you only photograph tattooed women or also “nude” (hehe) ones?

Hello! I do only photograph models that are open to nudity. Its the photography that I love to shoot and although I respect all models, nude or not, for my work I work with nude models.

(That does include implied nudity)

Being tattooed is certainly not required.

Which nonsexual (so don’t say boobs or vagina!) part of julie’s body do you love most?

Hahaha. My favorite parts of Julie certainly are nonsexual. My number one favorite part of Julie, HANDS DOWN, is her personality.

She is the most brilliant, but not stuffy, inspiring, but not overly serious, joyful, but not foolish, loving, but not obsessive, supportive, but not over bearing, women Ive ever met.

She makes everything I do better, brighter, smarter.

A good women is a women that inspires you to be a better man, and I am honored everyday with Julie’s love that inspires me to be better and all of that is my favorite part of Julie.

Verronica stopped through LA and we didn’t have time to do a proper shoot, but Julie and I wanted to meet her. We all got coffee and ended up hanging out for 5 hours. At the end of the night I decided I had to get at least one shot of this lovely lady and Im so glad I did.
