About Me

The primary objective of Beauty Outdoors is to do classy artistic nude images in natural outdoor surroundings.  Whenever practical, photoshoots are done in nature, using scenic overlooks, beaches, forests, streams, waterfalls, rocks, fallen trees, etc. for context.  This must often be done very early in the morning, or at some distance from populated areas.  Indoor shoots will also be considered when conditions preclude shooting outdoors, and provided that the indoor shoot will likely be very unique.

Beauty Outdoors works especially with beginners and others on a TF (Trade For - DVD or prints) basis to develop or improve portfolios.  TF shoots need not include nude images.  A model release is required, however, so that both the model and Beauty Outdoors can use the images in our respective portfolios.

Shoots where I pay the model are now done selectively.  Having done hundreds of shoots with hundreds of models, I no longer do them as often as before.  I will pay models who present me with new ideas that will fill gaps in my portfolio.  Models seeking paid shoots are invited to look through my portfolio and make suggestions for new shooting locations and concepts.  It should be understood that all paid shoots must include a substantial number of artistic nude and/or glamor nude images.  A model release is also required.

Work is limited to females over 18.  Photo identification with a date of birth is always required and the ID will be photographed for the mutual legal protection of the model and Beauty Outdoors.
 
Beauty Outdoors works primarily in the DC/MD/VA area but also travels around the Middle Atlantic states, to Florida, Canada, and occasionally elsewhere.
