I'm a full-time commercial photographer of conceptual and environmental portraits, but I created this profile to get into the studio more and create artful and evocative figure/implied/boudoir portraits. Mostly, my visual style is noir-ish, black and white photos with dramatic, low-key lighting. Also very interested in conceptual work. And location work. Everything, really! :)

A little about me and shooting with me:
First of all, I'm not a GWC! Photography isn't my hobby, and my shooting space is an actual studio in a commercial building miles from where I live, not a hotel room or a garage or basement in my home.
Models are always welcome to bring a friend for support or safety, and if you'd like to meet at a coffee shop before scheduling a shoot, I would be glad to.
My favorite shoots are the most collaborative ones. My goal is always for us both to come away with images we really love, so any ideas you have as a model are welcome. If you have poses or concepts you'd like to try, feel free to share them.
After a shoot, I choose what I feel are the best images and make edits to them. I'm not big on overly processed photos, so you'll probably notice that I leave people looking natural. Once I'm done (usually within a week), I'll send high-res copies of all the images I've edited. How many depends a bit upon how much we shoot, but I promise you won't feel short-changed.

I shoot for trade because this page is purely a creative outlet. I'm not looking to make money by shooting, or by selling work—I have no Patreon, no 500px, no folding table at Pike Place Market. I post images here and on my very small IG page, but only to find people interested in working with me. You may use the images we shoot however you like. If you have an OnlyFans page and want to use photos to generate income, I will make the best images I can for that to happen. Go for it. Everyone needs money, myself included. Here though, my hope is to meet fellow creatives who choose to shoot with me because they genuinely want to collaborate to make art.
