Hello and thanks for dropping by my page. I'm new to MM, but have been doing photography coming up 5 years. Was serious about it 2 years ago. Basically on MM just to network with other photographers and work with aspiring models looking to update their portfolio and work together on creating a theme to suit their needs or my vision of art. In the short time span of my career, I've had the greatest pleasure of meeting some of the nicest models who helped me challenge my creativity. As always, theres room for improvement and other inspiration to be brought into reality and capture the beauty at that precise moment. I'm always up for that challenge, are you? If so, drop a line anytime and lets see what you and I can do to create a timeless piece of beauty.

"Only way to improve is to believe in yourself and leap forward."

Here are some of my thoughts when doing a photoshoot.

- Just like any project I like to discuss in advance so we can determine location and theme. Most models have a vision on what they like or a style that works for them or want to try. I'll hear their input and work with it if is attainable. I have my own creative ideas and will provide if requested. If you have photo reference, feel free to send me a link so I can review. A photographer cant shoot if he doesnt have a model in front of a lens and a model cant provide a portfolio without someone shooting them...In short, we work as a team. I'm ex-military so I'm big on teamwork.

- I'm here for networking with other photographers and meeting aspiring models. I would accept an up and comer model over a seasoned professional model (she's got an endless resume of excellent port) anyday. Time to give an aspiring model a chance. Reason for this is because I too am expanding my port and still have a lot of creative ideas to make into reality.

- Once the photoshoot is done, you will choose the pics you like for PP. If you ask for suggestion on what looks good, I'll give my input.

- I will also burn a copy of the photoshoot and give you the RAW copy right there. For PP, depending on the project will take some time, but I promise at least 3 PP or more per week depending on the project.

- I also have a make up artist who from time to time will do it free, but that's up to her descretion.

- If lingerie, implied nude or nude is the project goal. I prefer an escort to be there or if you feel it's unecessary bringing an escort, then I would like to meet at a mutual location so we can formally introduce each other (I prefer this on all photoshoots regardless if nude or not). Nothing worse going into a shoot and being uncomfortable.

P.S...Meeting at a mutual location is not an attempt for a date or mingle. This is business and art.

With all that said, I look forward to working with you.
