I am probably one of the coolest guys you'll ever meet... True story! Haha, all jokes aside, I take my photography career very seriously. I approach TFP work on a case by case basis, so with that being said, if you want to work with me and you have some cool ideas, please feel free to contact me and I would LOVE to discuss things further.

If we do work together, I have one major requirement... YOU MUST BE ABLE TO HAVE FUN!!! I hate working with models with no personality. The more relaxed and carefree you are at any shoot is truly going to let your personality shine through and make for breathtaking art!

I am not a photographer that claims to know everything or acts like it either. I have learned different techniques from models in the past and not opposed to it one bit. I look to learn everyday; the day you feel as though you no longer need to, you need to give it up!

MY BIGGEST PET-PEAVE IS THOSE WHO BOTH MODEL OR PHOTOGRAPH UTILIZING THE AMERICAN FLAG WITH NO RESPECT FOR PROPER ETIQUETTE. YOU MAY THINK IT'S JUST A PICTURE, BUT AS A COMBAT VETERAN IT IS OUTRIGHT DISRESPECTFUL!!! I HAVE SEEN MANY PHOTOS ON HERE USING U.S. FLAGS AND SOME I KNOW BASED ON THE SIZE, ARE TOUCHING THE GROUND... OUT OF RESPECT FOR THOSE WHO HAVE FOUGHT/DIED FOR THE VERY FLAG YOU (unintentionally at times I believe) DISRESPECT OUT OF IGNORANCE. DO YOUR RESEARCH AND HAVE SOME PRIDE/RESPECT ENOUGH TO MAKE SURE YOU DON'T DISRESPECT IT!!! SORRY FOR THE RANT, IT IS JUST VERY IMPORTANT TO ME.
PLEASE LEARN IT! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Flag_Code

I view photography as a journey; I sincerely hope that you are a part of mine. Would love to hear from you!
