Welcome to Digital Media Magic Studios™, a division of The Quantum Empowerment Alliance™ non-profit organization for business, personal and community development. We are a small photography, branding, media production and art studio creating educational, artistic and commercial media for over 20 years now.

We're run by a husband and wife art and media production team with a wide variety of interests and passions. From photo art to HD audio & video presentations, to web sites and even 3D printed art & decor; we cover a wide variety of art and media production, using our creations to fund and fulfill our non-profit transformation goals.

We recruit many more models and other talent through other social media sites such as Facebook and Pinterest than this site, so we're only using the free (and therefore limited) account here. You can find more of our work (beyond the quantity limits of this site) on our other pages:

**General Model/Muse Interview & Shoot Process Overview and General Philosophy
Updated 10/12/2020

This is a quick overview of our Model Interview and Shoot Process:
- Step 1 is the job interview.
- Step 2 is verification and planning, I'll go over the details of that in a minute.
- Step 3 is scheduling the shoot.
- Step 4 is the legal work right before we start the shoot: getting a copy of your ID for age verification to make sure you're of legal age to sign and shoot, and then signing the photo release agreement.
- Step 5 is the shoot itself.
- Step 6 is post-shoot photo editing and art production.
- Step 7 is edited image delivery (where you get digital copies of the finished art for your modeling portfolio or social media)

We don't do interviews over text, only phone or internet (voice chat) as remote options, or in person. An in-person interview is preferred, mask optional, but the other options are still available. Local options are currently: a local drink (coffee, tea, juice, etc) or food business, a local park, or one of our homes.

With all this lock-down nonsense, keeping the office space wasn't a practical option. Now that things are opening up, I am looking into office space, but for now test shoots and other non-paid shoots will either be shot at one of our homes or out in nature, unless otherwise stated in the shoot post (such as our current Boat Shoot). We've been shooting at the river a lot lately.

Studio space is only available for paid shoots. I have paid studio space options to choose from, but if I'm not getting paid; I can't currently afford to rent a space. Models/muses not comfortable with those options are welcome to pay for studio space rental or wait until business picks up again.

If you want a remote interview and have a web cam, that would speed things up; as if the interview goes well, I will need to see who I'm working with (Step 2, face and figure), and then we can plan and verify outfits for the shoot before I put in the effort to schedule it. We could do both Step 1, and if it goes well, Step 2 right after (Optional, as I'll explain in a minute).

Some models have wondered why Step 2 is necessary if they have a portfolio we can review. It's simple: we need to verify it's legitimacy. It doesn't happen often, but people do post pics that aren't recent and not communicate any changes, and show up looking quite different than their photos. Some portfolios also don't include a good face or figure shot.

I've experienced it a few times, even with models I've worked with before. One model even had gotten into drugs and looked like she had aged badly (20-30 years in a little over a year!) in the face and neck. We don't cut corners anymore, and now make sure to verify appearance before working with anyone, even returning models.


1. Would you prefer a local or remote interview?
- If remote, I need to know two things: would you prefer phone or internet, and would you prefer audio or video?
- If local, the options are currently: a local (Arden Mall area) drink (coffee, tea, juice, etc) or food business, a local park, or one of our homes. Which would you prefer?

2. I always get morning work out of the way before interviews. What time of day are you available, afternoon or early evening? Interviews (not counting Step 2 - Verification and Planning) usually take up to an hour. I usually prefer between the hours of 1-4 or 6-7pm, the later being only Step 1 due to time constraints.

3. If you want to get steps 1 & 2 out of the way during the same call (as most of our models do), Step 2 can take 1-2 hours, depending on the level of discussion of shoot interests, outfits, etc. and will require either video or photo verification (as described above). So, if you want to group Steps 1 & 2; you need to let us know, so that we can both schedule 2-3 hours in our calendars of uninterrupted discussion time for both steps.

4. Feel free to ask any questions and honestly speak your mind. Is there anything you would like to know or like us to know before we get started?

Honest and open communication is a Requirement for trust, and trust is Essential to any functional relationship, let alone artistic collaboration. It's always better to ask and get clarity than risk misunderstandings, and drama can sour any interaction. The better we understand each other, the better we can create wonderful experiences together.


Our philosophy of working with people is simple. We call it The Fit:

The bottom line is, either we fit or we don't. That fit has a lot of layers to it. We're all adults here, and should be able to discuss and resolve any issue, even if that means admitting that our personalities, interests or styles simply don't mesh. Those layers all have to mesh for us to fit and find common ground, and if they don't right now, that's ok.

Some times people want to shoot gore, and that's not typically an interest of ours, and that's ok. There doesn't have to be any negative feelings if everyone is treated with respect and fairness. If we don't fit now; it doesn't mean we can't find common ground and work together in the future.

We deserve to be treated how we treat others. We don't work with drama queens or people who don't speak up when there's an issue, so speak your mind and let's see if we fit.

So, if you agree, then answer the Next Step questions above, and let's get this process started. :)

Who am I and What do I do?

I am a Holistic Human Potential Coach & Trainer, Branding Specialist, a Media Producer (audio and video, and soon theatrical and movie/show production) and an intuitive, passionate Artist: not simply a photographer and model/actor.

I have been getting a lot of ideas lately, especially working with my muses, and am looking to expand my work now that my non-profit network and school have stabilized after moving back to Sac.

I am self-employed and often work remotely with a mobile studio, so my schedule is unusually flexible.

I have a few local muses and a talented second shooter I am quite happy working with, though I am always open to more long-term models/muses and collaborators. I am currently looking to add more local make-up and hair stylists to our network, as well as more models for both individual and group shoots, indoor and out in nature.

I have an in-home studio, access to a larger photo/video studio for paid work, as well as basic mobile studio equipment with backdrops, lighting and props for on-location and outdoor shooting, including jewelry and other accessories. I create book covers, posters and other art, and almost always have an artistic project in the works.

I have been disappointed with the lack of professionalism in many models on this site, as have many of my peers, and have had much greater success on other sites and networking locally, primarily on Facebook. For this reason, we are rarely on here. We check notifications when we are contacted, but we are no longer using this site to advertise most of our talent opportunities.

I also typically require a face-to-face interview in a public space to evaluate the personality and updated look/style of potential talent. College students especially tend to be a bit insecure and flaky, and this gives us a chance to get to know each other and build trust.

I may be an artist, but I am still a professional entrepreneur dedicated to integrity and excellence. I only work with respectful, punctual models and only take newbies who are coachable. I am considering launching classes for new/aspiring models and photographers. If you're interested, visit www.QEAlliance.com and fill out the Personal Development application with specifics related to your profession (model, actor, etc).

I get everything in writing, as should you. If you're not working with people who have you fill out paperwork, they're not trustworthy professionals. If you need to learn the business, ask me for training. You need to know how to protect yourself and your work, or someone will likely take advantage of you sooner or later, and I would like to create a safer and more trustworthy photo community for all of us to enjoy.

Paperwork protects both parties and makes what you're agreeing to clear and accountable. Don't expect anything you didn't discuss and get in writing. If you don't communicate your desires and expectations, don't expect them to be met. You have to be clear about what you want in order for people to understand and be able to give it to you. Be clear, accurate and concise, and you will do well in any profession.

See the sites listed for shots of my latest work, both vanilla and tasteful mature art. I don't shoot anything degrading, so don't ask me to or assume that's what I'm after. I'm a spiritual artist promoting loving healthy relationships, not indiscriminate unrealistic and unsafe sex.

The human body is a Divine creation, and should be respected and appreciated as such. I consider sexuality sacred, and occasionally accept erotic art projects. I prefer elegant glamour art to grungy styles, though I accept BDSM and other fetish projects/commissions, offering such as an option to interested models/couples: but I always ensure safe and consensual content. More on that below.

I know that there are a lot of people out there obsessed with what's between your legs, but I'm not one of them. I'm a spiritual man who respects and appreciates beauty, regardless of your gender or age, and believe in giving all beauty the respect it deserves. If you're paranoid and assume that all men are perverts, don't even bother to contact me, as fear-based people don't know how to relax: and need both therapy and re-training to be good professionals.

I am both a human potential coach and holistic therapist, and can help if you're serious about resolving your emotional baggage and/or PTSD from abuse/neglect and other mistreatment. If you want help/training, it is available, otherwise fear-based people are welcome to move along.

Testimonials for my art, training school (yes, I have my own Human Potential school) and my coaching & therapy work are available upon request. You can also talk to my assistant to confirm my integrity and dedication to excellence with her.

__________________________________________________

I am a spiritual (not religious) artist, and multi-media producer covering a wide variety of arts, including:

- Photography & modeling (in front of and behind the camera)
- Digital Photo Art/Special FX & Painting
- Acting
- Singing and playing instruments/music (including song-writing)
- Poetry and other forms of creative writing/story telling
- Graphic development and illustration
- Paper and web/digital advertising
- Body paint and digital body painting/tattoo are & Special XF
- Wardrobe styling
- Animation and film

Most of these I have been doing either professionally or as a hobby off and on since I was a sophomore in high school, which means 10-30 years. I look young because I study and practice human potential, (what we call Ageless Living: Aging is mostly a myth!); the secrets of which I share openly.

My passion in life is to help people explore their full potential, in every area. I have learned the secrets to success from those with personal experience, and have created a wonderful life for myself. Now I spend much of my time helping/teaching others to do the same as a holistic empowerment coach/trainer and counselor/therapist. My art and advertising materials are my creative outlet.

I'm here on MM to find models and other talent for my photo/video art, as well as explore more modeling opportunities myself and network with other professionals to collaborate on projects.

I'm usually behind the camera, but I find that I enjoy expressing myself in front of the camera as well and experiencing/embodying the art/perspective of others. I enjoy positive and creative people immensely, and I love collaborating creatively together, sharing ideas and creating new projects and art.


My Art and Advertising Work:

I have a background in corporate branding and marketing, so my standards in professional look and feel reflect the high standards of excellence of my corporate training. I don't always have the time and opportunity to express my high standards, but I always do my best.

I started out designing web sites when I was 16, and quickly expanded into other graphic and branding work, both 2D and 3D. I have been designing everything from logos and business cards to inspirational posters and even manifesting tools, such as professional art representing the success of singers and stage performers, for artists to focus on as their goal they wish to manifest.

When it comes to my art, (especially drawing, painting [digitally and otherwise] and photo/video art), I enjoy capturing the emotions and passion of my muses. I'm not big on posing except for the occasional themed fine art piece, Pin-Up or advertising materials.

I have always enjoyed observing people, their behavior, and especially their joy. I prefer to allow my muses to express themselves, have fun, and capture their essence and passion in my photography and other art forms, though I often pose beginners as well and can enjoy both.

I love showing people who they are inside, helping them to express themselves creatively; how they see themselves, dreams they aspire to (such representations are actually great tools for intention manifesting), and fantasies they have.

I enjoy creating fantasy and sci-fi scenes (think book/movie covers) and designing costumes to help people express their fantasies of being a comic or movie character, dancer or other such aspirations.

What would you like to be? What kind of photos or photo art would you like?

I'm very selective with my models. A positive personality, comfortable and easy going is desired. Arrogant or extremely insecure models no one enjoys working with, though I can re-train if you're seriously committed to becoming the person you want to be.

I can create both art and advertising materials and events for businesses, such as clothing and jewelry companies, and require some models who are sociable and intelligent, as you may be interacting with the public and expressing your opinion of a clothing line. Whether in the business arena or just art, good models have long-term opportunities with us.

I don't mind working with new models, but you need to at least be comfortable with your body and most importantly Be Coachable. I know some photographers and artists are pushy, controlling and even manipulative, but rest assured that I don't push anyone into anything.

However, if you can't relax and show up on time, communicate any issues which come up (such as delays) in a timely manner, I won't waste my time on you. Everyone makes mistakes, but you need to do your best and, if nothing else, communicate your issues as you grow so we can work through them.

I respect everyone and, as described above, want to capture who you are inside (expressions of your soul) in my art. You will simply be offered choices, and free to choose to participate in what you feel you would enjoy and be inspired by.

Your own ideas and dreams may be explored if you wish; I'm always open to new and different ideas and projects.

You may view my portfolios and contact me here, on DeviantArt at http://artcriticallen.deviantart.com or on Facebook (link is at the top of the page) where you can find more of my work; as FB is easier to bulk-post photos to.

See my Casting Calls for information about current projects.
References/testimonials for my photography/photo art skills, and even confirmation/conversation with one of my current models, is available upon request.

Locations:
I typically stay in Northern California, but am willing to travel as long as my expenses are covered and extra time is accounted for. I have been known to travel to L.A. or Reno for a well-paying event/project.


If you are looking for models:

I'm easy going, confident, positive, and versatile. I am an actor, singer and martial artist; so I know how to hold a pose and balance well. I enjoy a variety of looks/styles, and have some of my own costumes.

My hair has now grown past mid-back level. I typically only trim it once a year. I haven't taken recent photos, because it's not a primary focus right now while I expand my curriculum for my new school, but I am open to and passionate about modeling work, and can take photos on demand with my second shooter.


Artistic Nude, Erotic and related art (for those interested):

I am open (both as a model and as a photographer/photo artist) to Mature (Boudoir, Artistic Nude, Erotic, Fetish, Pin-Up, Fantasy, etc) work as long as it is Not Degrading (I Won't Tolerate disrespect/abuse/violation of anyone).

I have a magazine interested in such art, a second shooter, props and a studio, and lots of ideas for indoor and outdoor shoots leading up to a photo book! Getting published is like having the ultimate business card. It helps us all get better known and gives us something to show off our work with, on a level above the rest. If done well, it shows that you're a serious professional: and you are taken much more seriously by would-be clients.

How would I know? I'm a fortune level entrepreneur, trained by branding and marketing specialists from Disney, Estee Lauder and many other recognizable fortune level companies. I've been a graphic and advertising artist and photographer for over 15 years, and have been branching out into person-based photo art for around 5 years. I've been honing my skills, building up to the point where I was confident in my ability to deliver fortune level quality photo art.

I have a few Erotic Art models, and I'm now looking for more to explore the variety of ideas I have, as well as any good ideas you may have, both individual and paired/group. The keys here are Glamour, Elegance and Variety. I have been shooting a few Eature Art sessions again (Pin-Up primarily) here and there over the last 5+ years, though I haven't had a lot of time to do the heavier photo editing for fantasy/sci-fi work (such as heavily 3D accessories and backgrounds for book covers and posters), but that is all changing with new business ventures. I am re-opening my in-home studio for trade work, and have a larger studio for paid shoots.

Examples/portfolio of my Mature Art and interests, (none of which is required to work with me as a Photo Artist/Producer) can be found on these pages:

NOTE: Be sure to read the descriptions of each category, even if you don't have an account and can't see my art there. I'm a monk and spiritual artist, not a shallow pervert, and have specific motives and plans for each category of art I create. I believe that the human form is Divine, and should be respected as such (yes, I said it before, but people easily forget).

I want to raise the bar in all genres of Erotic Art, inspiring more artistic creativity, spirituality and respect for all participants. I believe making spiritual and philosophical points/communicating such concepts are some of the highest uses/forms of all art, especially Erotic Art.

My collections of Erotic Art inspiration can be found here https://www.pinterest.com/djedichristophe/maturepin-up-art-inspiration-for-my-art/ and darianphoenix.deviantart.com

I protect the anonymity of models who wish to participate in Erotic art while protecting themselves from discrimination, and educate them on how to protect themselves as well.

Rule #1: Get EVERYTHING in writing!

Tattoos, piercings and non-Hollywood proportions welcome. As much as I think artists have every right to demonstrate their ideals for healthy human bodies, I also believe that too much editing and perfectionism is restrictive and distorts people's perspective of beauty.

This is not Hollywood advertising, this is art, and you don't have to have an ideal athletic/runway body to be beautiful. Also, beauty isn't just about the body, but the soul, the light of which shines through the eyes and can be felt by those who are aware on higher levels of consciousness.

I look forward to working with you and exploring the many ideas you've wanted to explore but haven't yet found a trustworthy professional worthy of shooting them with.

Sincerely,
Christopher Moeller - Talent Empowerment™ Coach, Art Producer,
Brand Management and Marketing Specialist
- Founder of the The Talent Empowerment Arts Program™ and The Quantum Empowerment Alliance™ which I am Founder and CEO of as well.

*I have a Much more extensive portfolio on Facebook and my DeviantArt store, and am in the process of developing a new consolidated portfolio. I literally have over ten-thousand photos to sort through!

Also, I have much greater success finding people to work with on Facebook than here, as it seems that people are more active on their Facebook profiles than here; so almost all of my models are not on here.
