About My Work:

 I am a queer artist & photographer with a downtown studio since 2016. I’ve been focusing on portraits & event photography, having also dabbled in nature and street photography.

In 2021/22. I stepped away from commercial work to take an artistic & creative sabbatical. During this time, I studied & explored digital transformations for conceptual nude & portrait photography as a form of art therapy and spiritual renewal.

In 2022/23, I launched my new dudeoir art studio under the name C Todd Dudeoir.

Currently I’m combining my community activism and my photography into something I call artivism. I continue to dabble in headshots, event photography including performing arts, and sensually dudeoir art expressions.
