Hi there,
 
My name is Gary and I want to thank you for stopping by.

I consider myself a serious amateur photographer, which means I’m an amateur that spends a serious amount of time and money taking pictures.

I love to photograph anything beautiful; landscapes, birds, animals, flowers and of course women.

My wife and I spent several weeks a year traveling around the country visiting National Parks, offbeat locations and seeing our grand babies.

What I’m mainly looking for is an aspiring model or actress willing to trade time for fully edited photos so we both can build up our portfolios.  If you have a particular style or look you want to portray let me know, I am willing to try just about anything.  With that said I am not opposed to paying women who model for a living.  If that’s your job you should get paid.

What I Require:

Proof of Age. I will take a picture of your official picture ID at our first shoot for my records, before we begin shooting. I do not shoot with models under 18 years of age I prefer 20+.

A signed release. I will ask you to sign my release at the beginning of each shoot. I will not shoot without a signed release. NO exceptions.

A Pre-Shoot Meeting, if we have never worked together before. You get a sample copy of my release to keep, so you can become familiar with it. We get to meet and get acquainted. We can discuss the photo shoot and what we expect from each other.  You get to see I'm not a creep, I get to see if you look like the pictures in your portfolio. These meetings are held in a safe, public place like Starbucks or Panera or some casual restaurant convenient to you. I will make exceptions to this for experienced professional models.

ESCORTS: Escorts are no problem as long as the person is unobtrusive. If your escort is willing to help me with things like holding a reflector, I'll take advantage of the offer, but it is not a requirement. In my experience, husbands, boyfriends and parents do not make good escorts. Even the most experienced models very often get self-conscious with them watching, but if they are your preference, I don't object.

If you look at my portfolio I shoot everything from Head shots to full nudes.  NO nudes? NO implied nudes? NO problem! You set the limits, I will respect them. I will never pressure you into something you're not comfortable doing.

What you will receive:

First and foremost, respect

At least 1 retouched photo (usually more) of each outfit or setting.  These photos may be used for any purpose you desire with the exception of selling them.

I will do my best to take the best photo that has ever been taken of you.

Talk to you soon,

Gary
