About Me… Bio… Blah, blah, blah…

I’ve written and re-written my bio so many times and each time I hate the way I come off more than the last.

At heart, I am a New Yorker but I grew up in Northern Michigan and am currently living in California.

Weaned on comic books, 70’s horror and sci-fi, noir and old serials, women’s fashion magazines and photo magazines but grew out of wanting to tell super-hero stories to wanting to make movies.

The digital video explosion of the 90’s prompted me to buy an editing system and a couple of DV cameras and making digital video movies became my passion.

Eventually this fan of photography became a photographer and I have spent the past several years shooting my favorite subjects, nature and women. I don’t believe in censorship in art and I don’t like having to restrain myself from shooting something I find beautiful if it might offend someone.

I am available for headshots, model portfolio building, family portraits but I prefer to do cinematic and conceptual images. Always looking for interesting women to work with on book projects and random art.

Constantly planning and working on short films and experimental stuff and looking for actors and production people who want to make low budget art. (Think noir, gritty crime fiction, European horror, avant garde experimental stuff…)

If you want to hire me or have me photograph you, drop me a line at terryost@mac.com
