Photographer

I shoot film and digital, print the images and then manipulate them using traditional techniques (darkroom, oil paint, acrylics) . The resulting image is then scanned and manipulated further in photoshop if needed. I've also been known to just paint on models when needed.
The images you see in this gallery are a representation of my photography, manipulated images, my art, and my model portfolios. My work is influenced by my everyday observations.
I have stage 2 MS, and anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (hence my name), so I'm currently trying to create as much art as possible.. But there are limitations, and they will become harder to work around in the future.


I’m looking for models for commercial projects and for exhibition purposes. Models must sign a model release.


Beauty always comes with dark thoughts........

“Fueled by a constant passion for art and creation, Aion documents the world as he sees it, and how it can be. Short moments of high emotional impact or deep reflection are what Aion captures. Still, beneath the impulses of his wandering eye, is a thinking man. A man who always places himself, and the souls he meets, in a larger context. The small individual in the big picture works as both observer and participant.
Aion's newest works - multi-dimensional kirlian portraiture,  involve a variation on the process of Kirlian Photography (aura photography) where a mixture of photo, paint and both standard and digital manipulation create the aura of the sitter as he sees it”
