fashion, music, and photography..... eleglances studios in chicago.

because beautiful people need to be photographed!

If I add you as a friend, it is because I am interested in shooting with you. Please contact me. My number is below.

If you have ever modeled or thought about modeling or if you are interested, please contact me and come to my photoshoots. i work for eleglances studios, llc. i joined model mayhem recently out of a recommendation from a model friend, but have been an avid supporter for the past six years, since August 2004, when MM was established.

i am a fashion, modeling photographer, and clothing designer, with many (25+) years of experience in photography, and I am constantly looking for talent for submission to major film, studio, glam, fashion magazines. i started when i was eight with old analog slr's, like the famous pentax-line. beginning in the late 80's and early 90's, i trained with avid professionals in the adult entertainment and fashion industry in Los Angeles, California; then Montreal, Quebec; New York City, New York; and Boston, Massachusetts. I have shot all over the world, including exotic places like Kathmandu, Nepal, Mt. Everest, and closer to home places like Miami Beach, Florida; Malibu, California; Chicago, Illinois; Washington, D.C.; and the Caribbean Islands.

they said that newton was an astronomer that helped invent the field of optics. after all, he wrote Optiks in 1704. photography, for me, is a science, that blends into an art of the supreme kind. i am attracted to it for its technical sophistication in the field of optics, and i am passionate about it because i love capturing that split-second elegant moment in time, where everyone radiates and shines.

if you love modeling, if you love being in front of the camera, you may just like what kind of pictures i can take of you at eleglances studios. it is all we do 24/7 and it is uniquely from our perspective.

we do both indoor studio and outdoor photography as well as events, commercial, promotional, and wedding photography. everything has to be with good purpose, because this is not about just taking pictures....this is the *art*, in a beautiful science, the art of capturing a special moment in time, of special memories, never to be lost, of capturing a million words and emotions in absolute inspiration, and of creating the penultimate of portraits!

i was based in Chicago and Boston for some time but have relocated. I am looking for people interested in promotional modeling and fashion. I design fashion as well and need models for what I make. I also make custom gear and will accept trades. i can be reached at 617.299.6398 for shoots and catwalk events.

i have all my models sign a model form and like to talk to them before they shoot. if you would like a copy of the model release form, i can email it to you beforehand.

**Please note: I don't post all of my best work here on MM. These are reserved for print. I put a few pics here to give people just a sample of a few things I do. I have lots more pics on my website, but again, most all of my outstanding photography is NOT published online. These are found in print publications. **

I shoot in one of the best studio ambiences that you can shoot in, just ask any of my models and they will tell you how much they enjoyed the shoot, how amazing it was, and how much fun they had.

i am an artist. i am busy. when communication ends or negativity enters the work or relationship so does my interest. art takes time. you have to be patient. you have to be available by phone, not email, not your agent, not your boyfriend or anyone else, just you. Thanks.
