About Me

Reflections In My Mind.” I am a photographer on a journey to explore and capture the many moments life has to offer. From my early years my pictures would show various interest in the diversity the world has to offer. From a moment in a child’s life to just things that most people pass by without taking time to see the beauty and the simplicity that life can present.

I received my first point and shoot camera from Santa when I was a little boy. From that point on I starting seeing life in a different perspective. I remember one time only days after Christmas, my family and I went to the Science Museum in Buffalo, New York. It was a cold and a snowy day. After we had left the building on our way to the parking lot, there was a stonewall, dark gray, built around the turn of the 19th century, with rod iron spikes sticking out of the top of the wall. I remember looking up, seeing a dark and gray sky, snow and ice on top of the rod iron, with the limbs of the tree over shadowing the wall, covered in ice. I thought it was beautiful. There was a peace and grace to this look that I saw.

From that time on, I could not get a camera out of my hands.

In most recent years, when I started to capture people, first starting out with cultural events, family groups, to children playing, street life and then later models, I friend and a former model once stated my work was a reflection of my fantasies. He was so blunt about it that I was taken aback. He was right! I saw myself in many of the pictures I took. I played both roles in my mind: model and photographer creating art for others to enjoy.

My primary inspiration to take photos of models was because of my wife. She modeled for Ford Agency when Eileen Ford ran the company. During that time, she had an affair with a Doctor who helped her grow as a woman. He had a photographer take photographs of her, which by today’s standards are considered to be artistic. Later when she grew into her forties, these pictures where sold all over the world in a form of posters and post cards. Her youth was forever captured for eternity.

Most everything I see in my daily life, is a picture. What I see on a daily basis is all about art and life in a form of a picture. I wish to capture only the beauty of life and to give others a sense of the best that this world can offer.

Now days I have journeyed into photographing fitness and fashion models, capturing and supporting their journey and their passion of becoming a model. Also I am on a journey to support the many companies to share their brand and vision of beauty.

“My desire is deep within my soul that drives me to capture beauty through my lens.”

Hey! Did you get my message? I’m a full time international model with 10+ years experience & I Aim on coming from CA to Phoenix around August 27th - September 3rd before going towards NM. I’d love to know if you would like to work with me while I am here or if you know anyone who might. This may be the only chance to shoot me in your area. Do you have recommendations on how else to get more work or who to reach out to? ABOUT ME; I am highly committed, passionate, reliable, open to working with artists of any level of experience & am very experienced in a wide variety of expressive poses. I’ve worked throughout AUS, NZ, UK, EU, Asia, Hawaii, & now in North America with plans to travel through other parts of the world. My many years of experience in the industry with a range of creatives from around the world have earned me features in multiple magazines, art galleries & exhibitions in a variety of countries. I’m open to modelling with other male or female models (locals or traveling) in the studio as well as on location in various conditions & throughout a broad range of styles. My extra talents; I’m a musician, I know how to free dive which is good for underwater shots, can horse ride, go on long hikes & also can crack a stock whip, I practice yoga, & have done basic pole & aerial hoop/silks. IG; @layal.official (non nudes) @aim.model (nude) @aim.backup.model1 (back up nude)
Please let me know if you are interested & have a preferred day/time to shoot along with what area you are coming from or have in mind to shoot. Please let me know if you are ok with doing a deposit or if you only pay cash on the day. If you are interested to work with me but not sure when/where/how, please let me know anyway so I know to follow up closer to my arrival. My RATES; for up to art nude $150 per hour for 2hrs or more or $550 for 4hrs or $1000 a day. This covers costs including my meals/drinks, public transportation, outfits I can bring, my own make up & other things to help me be the best I can for you. Surcharges; for 1hr only, light fetish & extra shooters. I do understand people have budgets so I can offer pay off methods where you pay the rate over an agreed time. If Instagram or WhatsApp or even email is better than discussing here, please send me your contact details. Thank you in advance for respecting me. Hope to hear from you soon, keen to see what we can do together, all the best & kindest regards.
