UPDATE!As of the beginning of 2015 I am primarily shooting for internatiomal and national glamour magazines through a management company I am affiliated with.This is a major company that manages many of the models you see at events and in magazines.Therefore,this will be occupying 90% of my tme when home or on the road.I will be running tests for this company so extremely limited testing/TFP

I will be one of the photographers attending this even Oct 4-11.If you would like to join me message me and I will give you the info on how to be a part of an event that will benefit your career,model or photographers

little note here on some other items that get brought up

ESCORTS
I am escort friendly as long as he/she does not interfere,and wouldn't mind helping in certain spots.I usually have no helpers with me,especially when I am on the road,and an extra hand,especially when shooting in the water holding a flash is a great thing.Again,as long as there is no drama,no problem

I am a long haul OTR trucker as photography and/or music does not pay the bills,therefore my time is extremely limited when in my hometown of Tampa.I travel often to the Mid Atlantic/Deleware,Chicago,So Cal,and occasionally Phoenix and Dallas,and starting Feb of 2012 I will and can possibly
be available in the Toronto area as I might have a steady run from Chicago to Toronto.Due to my extremely limited home time and busy schedule,as of 2012 extremely limited TFP,which means only if I contact you or your look blows me away

FLAKES
This was never a problem until a up to then close friend of mine no showed on one of my trips.I now have a zero tolerence policy.I might not be a "name"in this scene,but I am very good friends with a lot of people who are,whether it be models,photogs,MUA's,ect.I am very tight with people in Fla.What I'm saying is that flaking on me would be the same as flaking on a lot of people,just saying...so bottom line,I know emergencies happen,a phone call or text before the shoot would be appreciated.If you think you might have issues in a month or so,let me know ahead of time so I can find a replacement.A no call,no show..no bueno

ONE MORE EXTREMELY IMPORTANT THING
I'm quite silly during shoots so be prepared to laugh

I have worked with many talented and amazing models since I joined here in 2006,as much as I would love to list every single one of them it woul dtake up most of my page,and inevitably I would forget a few.If you need any references the models I shot with in my port are credited
However,if anyone needs to see their name on my port ,sign here x__________________________
