About Me

***UPDATE 03/06/14 - On Hiatus for regrouping/reorganizing/re-evaluating***

***********************************************************



I am a dedicated proam photographer who has been actively pursuing my passion for about 5 years shooting a wide range of genres from corporate head shots to fetish & fashion. In an effort to help my "hobby" pay for itself I opened DTD Photography in Denton TX in 2010; since then while I have had to move out of a rented studio space and back into the garage the end result has been steady progress towards a self sustaining real estate and product photography business; portrait and wedding photography however has proven to be a tougher nut to crack as my skills lack refinement but my dream one day is to be able to shoot people professionally.

One of my principal objectives in being a part of the Model Mayhem community is to be able to improve my skills when it comes to taking pictures of people in the hopes of being able to provide a more consistent artistic product for potential clients. Along the way I would like to have the opportunity to network with others and learn from my peers as well as--as it is with most nascent portrait photographers--develop a strong and diverse portfolio that showcases my skills and versatility in capturing the human form. As such I welcome any chance to collaborate with local models and MUAHs and I am open to any constructive criticism that my fellow photographers have to offer.

My favorite types of images walk the thin line between "twisted" and "artistic." At present I am working on several ongoing portrait series in an effort to find my visual style and build a cohesive body of work that is visually similar enough to be recognizable. That, however, is a long term goal; in the short term I would like to shoot more regularly (at least once a week) with a model, build my portfolio (and help others build theirs) and gain experience in shooting a wide spectrum of body types and looks.

Please contact me through Model Mayhem.

Hello,
I am new to Model Mayhem and recently came across your profile. Nice work! I'm currently looking for photographers that need to update their portfolio, or just want to do a fun, laid-back shoot. I don't have a lot of experience, but I'm hoping to gain a lot through castings listed on this site. So far, I've had two photo shoots and have more scheduled for later this month. If you are interested in working with me, just shoot me a message and we can set something up!

Thanks,
Laura
