On occasion I will do a TFP with Models with experience.

“If I ask to photograph someone, it is because I love the way they look and I think I make that clear. I'm paying them a tremendous compliment. What I'm saying is, I want to take you home with me and look at you for the rest of my life”. - Amy Arbus


I have been shooting for over 13 years now, and love it as much as I did when I first started. I shoot outdoors, I prefer shooting in abandoned buildings. I am a professional/licensed photographer, have been a Model Recruiter and New Faces Director and besides the US Marines for 7 years and College I have been in outside Sales. Though I do paid shoots and events, I prefer to keep money out of the equation until necessary.

I am easy going, laugh a lot, with a dry sarcastic sense of humor; kind of a cross between Bruce Willis and Groucho Marx.

I am a conceptualist. I envision my concepts at a finished product and when I do a shoot, I adapt to the rest as we go. I can adapt at the shoot, but I want time to discuss my concepts with my model.

I do a lot of planning through text and phone conversations.

What I am looking for:
I want to work with open-minded models who connect with my style, and who want to collaborate in the creative process.

I want to work with models that want to start from new and also update their ports. Females are preferred, but I will consider males as well.

Characteristics of models I prefer working with:
• Affable and easy-going character a must - I am serious about my work and more interested in working with a model serious about the outcome and a fun person rather than the
• Little or no experience to very experienced.
• Little or no need for direction during the shoot (if you are experienced)
• Organized, Professional
• Have a sense and appreciation for planning and WILL NOT cancel the shoot appointment time at the last minute.


What I am not looking for:

Solicitations for work that require me to pay a model to pose for me.


What I am offering:

My rates and different shoot types can be found on my website at: www.tmatphotography.biz. I will process work from the shoot and get it back to you within 3-7 days of the completion f the shoot. I will use Photoshop to remove any noticeable blemishes, scars and small flaws on "all pictures" for "paid" shoots and also do this on a limited amount of pictures for TFP shoots. I am not a Retoucher and if you are a Model, the industry no longer wants this look in any pictures used and submitted.

I offer all models a link to where the pictures can be printed and purchased for any reason they need. If any pictures from the shoot are considered to be a “killer shot” it may appear on my photography website or other professional sites I use to promote the my and the model’s work. I will provide the model with any processed shots that I post via DROPBOX, unless other arrangements are discussed.

If we book/collaborate, here’s more info on what to expect:

During shoots with female models, I will have a female escort with me at all times, regardless of subject matter. If you are under the age of 18, I will not conduct the shoot unless you bring a Mom, Dad or Legal Guardian. I also require a PSA (Photo shoot agreement) to be signed by everyone I shoot with to legally protect you and me, and also to give the copyrights for the pictures prior to the shoot.
If you want to bring an escort, I welcome it, yet I reserve the Right to have them leave or not be at the shoot site if I receive complaints from other Models who may be present at the shoot. I am single and this to me is work and not a way to meet women to date nor plan hook ups.

I will not ask you to do something you are uncomfortable with doing, just tell me up front. We'll set the limits before we even start the shoot.

If you are a new model and you are coming to me to establish a port, I will help you develop a comprehensive presence on the Internet through my contacts and social media. I am not affiliated with any modeling agency, but I do know people in this industry who may be able to help you augment your efforts to be successful in this field.

Having said that, please contact me. I am always looking to meet new people and try out new ideas. Please contact me at [email protected] or directly from my website for any inquiries or scheduling activities. I am not always signed onto this site but I have more than enough devices to check my emails. I look forward to hearing from you and any Hair and Makeup Artists out there.
