After specializing in wildlife (specifically birds in flight) I am branching out into portraiture . I am looking for models with a sense for creativity and edginess. My sessions revolve around concepts and stories that I try to bring to life using my studio space in my condo. Whether it is glamour, erotic, conventional portraiture, fetish or lingerie, I bring a unique perspective to the shoot. I also bring a set of beliefs as to how to serve the client. In addition to paid sessions,I have started doing TFP for aspiring models or those that are just curious about the process. I believe in processing TFP and session prints in an expeditious manner because I know that my models are anxious to see the results of the session. Usually the prints are complete in 3-4 days and in fact I will start uploading them within 24 hours of the shoot. I don't like to wait for 3 weeks and make the client think that I am doing them a major favor by even taking their photograph. I don't believe that wasting time is a perceived value for either of us. I have certain expectations of those I choose to photograph. You must be dependable and show up in control and ready to work. So there is no misunderstanding, my shoots often contain implied or masked nudity. Some sessions may allow for spontaneous nudity if the client wants to extend the range of emotions but that is at the client's discretion. Those photos do however become part of my portfolio and the portfolio may be shared with perspective clients allowing them to view but not maintain possession or copy. The models that I work with are all multi-session and they are my friends. I respect them and sincerely care for them and the relationship we forge. I am old enough to be the father and, in some cases, grandfather of those I photograph. I have a daughter and try to treat my models with the care and respect that I would expect for her if she was a model. If you want to bring a male chaperone, please let me know prior to the day of the shoot . Female friends seem to extend the creative process and I have no issues with them staying and even helping with the session. At any time anyone concerned about me can contact any of the models I have worked with on MM. I have been verified by all MM members that I have worked with. Ultimately I understand that we will have to develop a trust and a bond and I understand that that is a "leap of faith" for both of us. I feel it is well worth making the time and taking the initiative to do just that.
