Aloha,

Update: We are on pause for now for models expecting compensation including TFP as this is now our full-time job. Thank you for your understanding. We hope to change this soon in the future so we can work with the most talented fine art models out there.

Nut-Shell: I am an art nude and fine art scapes award winning, published photographer on the island of Oahu. Yes you probably heard this many times so it's not a big deal but more of an accomplishment if nothing else. I am looking to work with someone with a professional attitude and willingness to create beautiful art that invokes positive or memorable emotion from the viewer.

Compensation: Depending on the project, I do work with models that require compensation as I understand it is their full-time job. Please send me a message here on modelmayhem.com and or via email at [email protected]. Sometimes I do not get alerted from model mayhem for messages and sometimes email gets dropped into junk mail on my gmail. Hopefully I see one or the other.
Otherwise, please feel free to send me an email for our rates.

About: Like most photographers and models, my goal and passion is to create! Depending on the type of shoot; we are a two man/woman team "husband/wife". I like working on projects in the fashion, implied nude, nude, art nude, and nude art ballet.
I work with all levels of models including professionals. If I have a project that fits the look and talent we can definitely work something out. All we ask is that the model we work with has a professional attitude.

Youtube: I also create youtube (Behind the scenes) content and or instructional videos. If this is not possible for the model, I will completely understand and 100% respect the model's wishes in regards to video recording and I will not try to convince you otherwise.
Note: YouTube does not support nudity, therefore if a video is made it will not have nudity and will be blurred/censored.

Pictures: I do not and will not give out RAW files under most conditions. However, I would understand that models would want to edit to their own to their creative style. This is completely understandable and jpgs do not carry enough information for this to be done extensively. Therefore, instead of RAW files I will be happy to also give the model TIFF files (if I still have the RAW and or if I can still convert it to TIFF) which hold a tremendous amount of data for editing and or image manipulation as long as the model has a form of storage due to the image sizes being so large.

TFP: I am open to TFPs if we can both benefit from it from an experience and portfolio standpoint. Otherwise, please feel free to send me an email or message me here and I can send you our customizable rates. If you would like to work with me on a TFP basis please let me know when you reach out. If not, I will assume you are expecting me to send you our rates.

Retouch: I currently re-touch all my own photos. While I appreciate the many offers, I am currently not looking for a re-toucher. Thanks.

Some minor requirements I have are.
1. MUST be over the age of 21 - ID will need to be present before shoot. Depending on the model, I will work with someone at the age of 18 but no minors and no exceptions.
2. Shoot expectations must be set prior to shoot.
We can discuss the shoot/project via phone and or email.
5. Model must sign a model release. (This is standard) These will be emailed prior to the shoot. If the agreement is not to your liking we can definitely discuss your concerns.

NDA: I do NOT do (Non Disclosure Agreements). That's not how I roll. While my style of shooting is at times complicated from a technical perspective, they are no secret and anyone can do what I do. I will also try to record the entire shoot so there isn't any discrepancies.

If you are still reading all of this, thank you very much for your time and I appreciate it.

If you are interested in working with me, please feel free to shoot me an email and message me here. For some reason, sometimes modelmeyhem no longer sends me notifications so I may miss your message like I have with others previous to writing this and I missed the chance to work with amazing professional and talented models.
