I will only accept a "friend request" from models, photographers and MUAH's with whom I've worked.  I am also capable of performing retouching, so your offer will go unanswered & tags removed!
Thank you.

Like most of you, I am seeking PAID WORK as well!  If you have a look that I or a magazine is seeking, and we both will benefit, I will pay & contact you direct!

I feel your portfolio should be representative of what you are trying to achieve as a model or photographer.  As a model, don't list "NO" to shooting nudes in your status then provide a number of nude photos in your portfolio.

PLEASE DON'T ASSUME THAT I WILL AUTOMATICALLY ASK YOU TO POSE OUTSIDE OF YOUR COMFORT ZONE IF I CONTACT YOU!

I am published, but I do not shoot for
magazine publication only.  I shoot for myself and my client(s).  I am good, but I am not rich.  With that said, I cannot afford to pay every model I contact, nor will I ask them to pay me.  I am happy to work with ANY model requesting TFP (trade/time for print).  My photography interest lies in artistic nudes (B & W), body portraits & implied nude.  I am not however limited to these styles.  This leaves me open to any style of photography that will help to further my career and standing.  I am interested in working with any and all models who share an interest in my style of photography.

                        I DO NOT/WILL NOT SHOOT PINK (open-legged)! 

History has dictated this needs to be stated: 
I prefer to not shoot STRINGS (monthly cycle)!  We can wait 'til this has passed to shoot.

Shooting is done mostly in my home studio, but I can travel to any location, local of course.  I enjoy shooting with models of ALL levels who wish to shoot "TFP".  For "TFP" ONLY, I provide you with (3 - 4) 8 x 10 glossies for your portfolio.  These will be emailed to you after editing.  A CD with jpegs is $25.  For paid models, prints are extra.  I post all photos on my website for you (and only you) to review.  You are given the option to purchase more photos from my website.

A few things to take into consideration when shooting with me:

1)  PLEASE be early.
If you're early, you're on time.  If you're on time, you're late!
2)  Hair and make-up are your responsibility, unless we've scheduled an MUA/H
3)  If posing nude, do NOT wear undergarments or tight-fitting material at least 2 hours before the shoot
4)  Please keep phones in "silent" mode
5)  Escorts are welcome but must not interfere!
6)  Please bring a valid ID
7)  Please be hydrated and have skin properly moisturized
8)  If posing Boudoir/Lingerie, please bring 3 matching garments (color and material).  NO G-strings or thongs please!
9)  NO SMOKING!!!

With the technology of today, everyone has the ability to contact someone at a moment's notice.  If you cannot make a shoot, PLEASE call ahead of the shoot.  More contact info is available on my webpage.  It is not my job to remind you of our scheduled shoot.  We are professionals and this is our business.  When I set a date, It is put in my calendar in 3 separate areas so I will not forget!  Might I suggest you take a similar approach to scheduling. 

My shooting hours are Monday - Thursday, 12 - 9pm.  Friday, 12 - 7pm.           
             
I DO NOT RELEASE RAW FILES!  Most professional photographers will not release RAW files.  Raw files are the intellectual property of the photographer.  They equate to a film negative of old, and the photographer usually keeps these close at hand.
High resolution jpegs/tiff's can be purchased for your portfolio separately.  If you liberate photos from my website, you obviously like my work so PLEASE make sure I get credit.

I often shoot "B & W Single Light Nudes", but I am open to other styles.  If this style interest you, let's get together and shoot!

Every photographer spends years, if not decades creating his/her own personal style.  To help you, as a model better understand what I like, and hope to someday become, please look up the following photographers:

Edward Weston            Annie Liebowitz                Herb Ritts
Victor Skrebneski          Kishin Shinoyama            Helmut Newton
Ellen Von Unwerth        Jerry Schatzberg              Andre de Dienes
Greg Gorman

I DO NOT require the assistance of ANY retoucher!  Do not tag me or send me a friend request unless we've worked together!
