I am a 39 year old male, been doing photography for 3 years professionally but have taken photos my whole life to include in the military. I enjoy taking pictures of anything and I would like to get some pictures done to help others in my area for their portfolio but also for a Facebook page I help run. The page is to boost troop morale and show that Soldiers with PTSD/TBI or adjustment issues can find peace in something they love if they look hard enough. You can contact me through my Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/pages/Gator1-Photography/523065094428698?ref=hl

I am working on a website, it is under construction currently

The models I am interested in must have creative shots in mind and a strong artistic vision as what I come up with is about the art of the shot not the action in the shot (two different things). I believe in the artistic view of the photo and capturing that moment that will make you think and go “I want to do that”. I am very passionate and serious about my work and will be professional at all times, I expect the same in return. I see this as a working relationship like any other business. I have a wife and children so no need for anything extra out of these shoots; strictly business. I am willing to step out of my comfort zone and really give it my all; only those who are willing to take risks, can possibly find out how far one can go. I love working on artistic and bizarre projects. I like to be able to interact with my environment on a shoot; plain backdrop studio shots often bore me--except if you're going to extract me and put me somewhere else digitally, that is. I like to climb things, crawl into strange places, and I don't mind getting muddy. I am mature, drama free, show up on time, and know how to get the job done while having fun. You got to have a sense of humor, love to interact by talking and just bond on an intellectual level; I am outgoing and like to be free. I am open to paid and TFP or TFCD jobs; this will be discussed either on the phone, “go-see” or before the shoot even begin.

I am currently shooting TF/TFCD, I enjoy photography and feel that I can bring something to your portfolio just as you can bring something to mine. I want to work with as many models as possible and complete as many of your “list” projects along with mine. I DO NOT PAY MODELS as I do not expect payment. In my opinion when money is involved the whole shoot goes in a different direction and the fun is lost as expectations are far higher on both sides and from observing others, one side is usually unhappy in the long run. With my type of shooting the stress of the event is lost and the fun begins. I would rather work with the model as a team then as an employee. You have just as much interest in our shoot as I do and I want to make all our expectations come true.

Nudity: I am comfortable shooting it and want to use it more to tell a story or compliment a location we are in. I am interested in shooting couples for their own projects or for their own personal portfolio. The passion and intensity that a couple can bring is electrify and capturing those moments are fantastic.

Body Art:
Piercings: You have them, I want to shoot them – you don’t have them, then we are still good.
Tattoos: They tell a story and I want to capture that story, I want to put your tattoos against something that helps define them. The pictures I want to shoot will be able to stand alone and emphasis your tattoos and why you got them.

Escorts: I reserve the right to bring an escort on all shoots--if you don't allow this; I will probably not work with you. I also allow you to bring an escort as this will make the whole shoot go more comfortable (My wife (model here on MM) usually will come and assist either me or the model as she has over 20 years of experience). I ask that they be respectful and not interfere with the shoot unless directed by me or I reserve the right to cancel the shoot on the spot. I am easy to work with but when I shoot I need the focus from the model as the model should want my total focus to be on them.

References: Please contact me for references; I've done this so any model that comes across my images and would like to contact me regarding my experiences can do so and so anyone, in general, that is thinking of working with me, can get in touch with people I've worked with to discuss me. I'm very professional and objective when discussing my experiences with others.

Contact: When contacting me, please include the following information:
- What kind of work you are interested in shooting (I love to be a part of someone else’s vision, but I also have lots of ideas of my own),
- Location
- Date and Time
- Transportation/hotel (if traveling is involved)
- Compensation (if any)
- Anything else that I should know about the shoot

Review: The formalities out of the way; I appreciate everyone’s comments or messages on my portfolio. This will only make it stronger and better which I appreciate. I have worked with many great models and look forward to working with some over and over again.
