I have a complaint about the selection of categories on here. There isn't a "nude" category. All this does is reinforce the negative stereotype that nude explicitly means "erotic" or "fetish." Nude does not inherently mean sexual, and this site should really consider putting it up as a stand-alone selection. If I could, I would put "nude" on my list of categorical selections because I treat the nude figure exactly the way it is, natural. No fetishization, no eroticism; it is a beautiful, natural thing, almost like a landscape, but truly alive.

I do not classify myself as a photographer anymore. However, this is the medium I'm most comfortable with. As for technical experience, I have been behind the lens for over 6 years, mostly as an assistant to the "actual" photographer. I am versed in the CS platform, mostly CS4 and most recently Lightroom, but as a precursor to that, I am much more comfortable, and do most of my quality work with film. I will shoot digital for convenience sake, and do it well, but my real comfort zone is in black and white film and the development process. I can work miracles with toy cameras, especially my Holga 120, and my recent armament, a German Ernet Prontor II circa 1932. Other tech specs include: knowledgeable in studio lighting (though I do have a friend that's a lighting master,) using ambient lighting to create wonderful soft effects, very knowledgeable in the film development process and darkroom process, alternative printing methods (Lith, sepia, solarization, and alternative emulsion printing)

now for the sticky part. I do not have a car, but I am willing to travel. Public transportation is my home boy. I do not have a studio. I am a broke college student who lives with his parents; I work part time as an assistant in a development lab for What I can offer as payment is this:
-superb work for free
-excellent guidance and direction; you will never feel lost as I guide you through my vision.
-quality prints that are hand developed by me
and most importantly, you'll have a good time. I pride myself in my honesty and rapport with models, because a comfortable model is a beautiful model.
In order to reach me, please send me a message here and if we establish a shoot, I will then give my private information like my personal email, and cell number.
